Born in the Nordics, I never felt I'm living very far in the north as it was south of the Arctic Circle and all. But there really aren't big populations that far up -- it was well north of Anchorage, for example. Russia has some inhabited northern places in Siberia like Norilsk, though solely due to the mining industry. I guess Europe would look very different without the Gulf Stream.
