/ˈpɛrɪskaɪ/
Plural noun (used chiefly in historical geography): the inhabitants of the polar regions, whose shadows, at certain times of year, may fall in every direction around them because the sun remains above or below the horizon for 24 hours.
Early astronomers classified the peoples of the Arctic as the periscii, since their shadows could trace a full circle on the ground throughout the long summer day.
