The most northern settlements on Earth are communities close to the North Pole, ranging from about 70° N to about 89° N.The North Pole itself is at 90° N. There are no permanent civilian settlements north of 79° N, the furthest north (78.55° N) being Ny-Ålesund, a permanent settlement of about 30 (in the winter) to 130 (in the summer) people on the Norwegian island of Svalbard.
