Nordkapp so high - 71° 10′ 21″ North

This 307 m high cliff is commonly referred to as the northernmost point of Europe, however this is not accurate. The true northernmost point of the European mainland is Cape Nordkinn (Kinnarodden), at 71° 08′ 02″ N, located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the village of Mehamn on the Nordkinn Peninsula. If Europe's northernmost point is allowed to be on an island, then it still is not the North Cape. It would be Cape Fligely on Rudolf Island, Franz Josef Land in Russia, which is located much further north at 81° 48′ 24″ N. If Franz Josef Land is not considered to be in Europe, then Europe's northernmost point is the northern point of the island of Rossøya, an islet in Svalbard, north of Spitsbergen at 80° 49′ 44.41″ N. Even the next peninsula just east of the Nordkapp, Knivskjelodden, is a little bit more north than the Nordkapp, but there is no road. I will show ist later.

So there are many 'northernmost points' of Europe. Not so important, don't you think ;-))
