You are correct, while some people refer to the Arctic Ocean as the
arctic, their are 3 definitions that are considered acceptable, and all
the area above the arctic circle is one of the more common ones.

The fact that the ice is about 2 miles thick on the island of Greenland. A
copious amount of ice. Takes awhile to fly over it in a 747.
