Betreff: [BoundaryPoint] Hammerfest or?

Hello!
I post this query here, hoping not to bore anybody.
In a trivial pursuit query there is written that "the town Hammerfest in
Norway is the upper most northern town in the world".
Well, I know that there is the military Canadian base ALERT (with its post
office available also to civilian people) which is surely northern than
Hammersfest, but surely there are some villages in Svalbard islands or in
Asian Russian territory, or in Alaska.
Probably, before answering,  we must define the word "town", the word
"village", also we must decide if the people must live there all the year or
if we accept a place where people live there only in Summer season (
temporary base).... or if can decide on
the fact that there it must be a governmental post office with a  specific
ZIP international code,.. or if we are speaking of a "continental town" or a
town on an island... or something else...
Well, the question is:
which is the uppermost northern TOWN in the world?
Any help?
Best regards Fabio
