What is the best city above the arctic circle to live in?
I think all of these except Northern Europe are uninhabitable
Above the arctic circle? Probably Tromso or something.
Canada.
>>51819387
why? what city?
Murmansk is only '''''city'''''
Some place in Norway or Iceland for sure, by far the warmest zones in the arctic, you can get some trees and grass instead some depressing gray barren terrain.

>Iceland
>above the Arctic circle
>>51819216
you would be incorrect in that assumption

Isn't that an old gulag built on permafrost turned into a city because mining.
Who the fuck would wanna live there.
>>51823148
The island still has some remains of its native birch trees, an Icelandic landscape with large forests of this variety today would have been beautiful.
I don't know about Alaska or Canada, but Tromso seem like a good bet. It's about 70k people there, and it's a decent city overall. I wonder whether there are many cities of this cize at all above the actic circle in Alaska and Canada?
Tromso looks comfy af. also posting comfy music from the arctic

There is one decent town in Iceland close to the arctic circle, but it may be too small for most people? Akureyri, has about 18k people there. It's not above the arctic circle tho. I don't think any cities/towns on Iceland is technically above the arctic circle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akureyri
Maybe Finland has some northern city town which is comfy?

>(Basically nothing)
You said it.
>>51824157

Murmansk is a horrifying place too.
Never again...
It is just so fucking depressing place to be.
>>51824438
Haha, you've been there? Tell us more.
>>51824294
>>51824338
Pic related applies to literally any more than a couple of kilometres from the border in this country.
Somewhere in Norway is probably the best bet.
In Greenland i would probably choose Sisimiut or Aasiaat, the second and third largest towns.
>>51824490
I believe you.
>>51824581
Hei, hvordan går det der oppe?
>>51819387
>>51819797
Iqualuit. It sucks.
come home, white men

>>51824338
Haha, holy fuck.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So, it seems Tromso is the biggest city. Also, Tromso during the summer, not a grey and depressing place like most other places above the arctic circle, and then comfy winters.

Sometimes, rarely, mostly in the south you can see a little groove of introduced spruce trees. Rarely and most of the time you'll see barren land, but they do exist.
But who the fuck comes to Iceland for trees, it's exactly these barren lands which are so beautiful.

Beware, the guy with the greenland flag didn't seem to know Danish. Proxy alarm.
>>51824014
Rovaniemi is right on the arctic circle and has about 60k population.
Don't know about comfy
>>51825122
Full of cryptochinks and alcoholics.
>>51825277
Surely Santa town is comfy
>>51820906
No wonder they kill themselves.
>>51820906
did you never watch twin peaks? iceland's above the tree line
>>51824485
What can i say.
The amount of grayness and darkness was overwhelming just like the amount of all kinds of lover class narcomans and alcoholics.
Really there were a shitload of those.
The Norh Pole is Polish hence the "Pole".
Fuck off invaders.
>>51825277
It's a regular university town.
Only problem is that there's nothing around it for 200 km, except levi which is too expensive for a poor student.
