Northernmost commercial airport?
I'm hoping to be living in Canada for a year shortly. I have a slight rivalry with friends about travelling north. My record is Murmansk, but it's about to be beaten by someone who is going to Tromsø, Norway (@Stuart). What's the furtherest north you can fly into? I'm assuming something like Svalbard (ironically with flights from Tromsø and Murmansk), but wondering if something can beat that?

According to wikipedia the northern most permanent airport with a regular schedule is indeed Svalbard (78°14?46?N 15°27?56?E).
I imagine there are possibly some further north in Canada but they may not have commercial flights.
