Berny's photos with the keyword: Nordkapp

compared to this armada of campers there were really not many people on the way ;-)

View from Nordkapp to the east, to Knivskjelodden in the backgorund, which is a little bit more north than the North Cape, but who cares. Enjoy the view!

Sabu looking at the peninsula Knivskjelodden east of Nordkapp: "If you wouldn't have told me, that Knivskjelodden is more northern than here, I would be happy. So I missed the mark.........No.....just a joke, I'm really happy to reach the Nordkapp finally. I'm the first hippo here ever, I think. At least the first green one."

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 ;-)) See PiP's for closer views!

the midnight sun appearing behind the Nordkapp spike (and behind my daughter pointing to it)........

About midnight the sun appears exactly beside the Nordkapp spike and standing on the right place you can look at it through the Kirkeporten rock window. My daughter preferred the top position. And yes, the lense was dirty (f/16) ;-).......see PiP for viewpoint!
