Northern cities quarrel over wich one is northernmost
Picture from Hammerfest
Two Norwegian cities are quarreling over which one of them can claim the title of being the northernmost city in the world.
Hammerfest lies at just over 70 degrees north, while Honningsvåg lies at just under 71 degrees. For more than 200 years, though, Hammerfest has claimed that it's the northernmost city in the world.
