The northernmost city of the world with a population of more than 100,000 people is Murmansk, Russia. It is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle with a population of 336,137 (taken in 2002). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murmansk Aug 25 08, 3:46 PM

Oops, yes author and shazy, I found out that Norilsk is, indeed, the northernmost city of the world with a population over 100,000. http://www.webcamgalore.com/EN/webcam/Russia/Norilsk/3001.html Aug 25 08, 6:58 PM

I find it odd that Wikipedia did not list (nor did any answer here), for the record, just how far north Norlisk is. The answer is that it is at 69 degrees, 20 minutes North (and 88 degrees, 12 minutes East), which means it is substantially further north than the Arctic Circle. (This is according to Google Earth.)

Norilsk is the right answer, and (to Arpeggionist) the Wiki page actually does give the coordinates if you look up to the right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norilsk Aug 26 08, 7:46 AM
