Ytterby: The Tiny Swedish Island That Gave the Periodic Table 4 Elements

  John you might need to consider Ytterby for "The Geek Atlas II".

  Ytterby is not an island. It is a village _on_ an island: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ytterby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ytterby

    There are also several other places named "Ytterby", translated the name means something like "outer village". (I happen to live in one of the other ones :)) Pointless map of Ytterbys in Sweden: http://kartor.eniro.se/m/pBGRL http://kartor.eniro.se/m/pBGRL

      Just out of curiosity would "Ytterboe" mean "from Ytterby"? I'm wondering because my college has a dorm named "Ytterboe".

        Nope, Ytterboe isn't swedish. "Person living in Ytterby" is "Ytterbybo", which is close but not quite the same.
