Well, it appears that the northernmost inhabited land is not Greenland, but the Svalbard archipelago, located north off Norway. Svalbard is made of 5 big islands, and various islets, located between 74 and 81o N and which 8-9 months per year (at least, they used to do so, as only in the 20th century the Svalbard climate warmed up by 6° C) are encased in ice.

Longyearbyen, in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, is far to the north.

The northernmost settlement in Canada (and in the world) is Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert on the northern tip of Ellesmere Island – latitude 82.5°N – just 834 kilometres from the North Pole.
