About LEGO City Arctic

Arctic is a City subtheme that involved arctic explorers. It was an extension of the original Arctic sets released under the Town theme in 2000. The City version of the Arctic theme had two releases, in 2014 then again in 2018. The background story behind the theme involved meteors that were falling to Earth in locations around the Arctic. The sets featured several snow vehicles and a research station.

The LEGO City theme is based on city life with the sets depicting city and emergency services, police, fire, airport, train, construction, and civilian services. The City theme proceeded LEGO Town which was replaced with LEGO World City in before it was rebranded as City in 2005.
