The Arctic Star is a military campaign medal that was instituted by the United Kingdom on 19 December 2012 for award to subjects of the British Commonwealthforservice in the Second World War, specifically those who served on the Arctic Convoys north of the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Star was formally approved by the Queen for award to those who served on the Arctic Convoys during the Second World War, and production began in early 2013. The medal was awarded for any length of operational service north of the Arctic Circle by members of the British Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy. The qualifying area is defined as 66° 32’ North Latitude and the qualifying period recognises the particular severity of the conditions experienced by those who served in the Arctic. The Arctic Star is a retrospective award, coming nearly seven decades after the end of the Second World War, and was announced in late 2012.
