Some years ago it was customary to discuss a nebulous region of the world called "the north" even though this designation suffered from numerous ambiguities. To eliminate confusion and identify a particular northern portion of the earth, the terms "arctic" and "sub-arctic" were introduced. Thus in searching for common denominators by which they could denote the arctic and sub-arctic, geographers have turned largely to climatic factors. One point often stressed is that the defined regional boundaries are not governed by latitudinal considerations.
