An entire Swedish town is moving. It's not for a few years yet, but who will have the most up to date map of the town?

"Sweden's northernmost town of Kiruna will move its centre a few
kilometres away to save it from sinking into the ground due to
underground cracks created by iron ore mining"


This one is caused by mining, but by all predications we'll see this many times over if/when climate change really kicks in.
