What do you mean?

North Atlantic Drift keeps Europe warm.
Distances north that are perfectly comfortable and warm here would be way up in the land of snow and ice there.

Got you, thought you meant something else.

You don't call it the Gulf Stream there?

It's pronounced Gulf Stream but spelled North Atlantic Drift in British English.
Like how Edinburgh is pronounced "Edinboro", or Thames, "Tims"

That's on the east coast of North America, the west coast is temperate at higher latitutes because of the pacific ocean.

Just looked it up - Whitehorse is a fairly tiny bit more north than Stockholm.

And no I the Arctic Circle is still several 100 kms to the north.  I was actually there a week ago however.

Apparently the gulf stream is the north american bit and the north atlantic drift the bit that extends to europe, so they're different things.
