Regardless of the claims of the tourist industry, we should go to the Russian far east here, probably Tiksi, on 71 degrees 38 minutes North. It's both larger than Hammerfest and farther north. Hammerfest is below 5,000 inhabitants, so is Honningsvåg, which (rather speculatively) claimed itself to be the world's most northern city. This is not a city, not even a town, it has just about 1000 inhabitants. Jan 15 05, 3:41 AM

A small correction: Tiksi might not be a ´city´, rather a small port/settlement, but it is the northernmost settlement with a population of more than 5,000. The population in 2002 was 5,873. The population of some other northern towns/cities: Hammerfest, Norway 9,261 (2005) Honningsvåg, Norway 2,568 (1999) Barrow, Alaska 4,218 (2005) Pevek, Russia 5,206 (2002) All of these are situated south of Tiksi, Russia.
