Is Anchorage further north than Helsinki?

Helsinki has long, light summer nights and sits almost level with Oslo and Saint Petersburg, so it seems like one of the most northern capitals anywhere. Anchorage, though, is further north again. Its centre lies at 61.2° N, against Helsinki’s 60.2° N, about 120 km further north. Both cities are known for summer days that seem to last for ever, and the numbers people quote can mislead. Anchorage advertises around 22 hours of usable daylight at midsummer, counting the twilight when the sun is just below the horizon; in Helsinki the sun itself is above the horizon for about 19 hours. Those are different measures, so the gap between them is not a fair comparison. On latitude alone, Anchorage is the further north of the two, by just over a degree.
