Polestar's Jokkmokk testing facility in Lapland, Sweden, really does lie within the geographic line just above 66º N, surrounded by soft pastel-colored homes... and lake-sized sheets of ice. Now, the Gothenburg-based company is paying homage to its harshest benchmark with the Arctic Circle lineup.

Polestar has introduced Arctic Circle editions of the 2, 3, and 4 models. The EVs ride on lifted suspensions with Ohlins dampers, and studded tires. All three models were designed as one-offs, with no plans for production.

One of Moscow's nuclear icebreakers has sustained significant damage after colliding with a cargo ship in the Kara Sea.
