North Cape

North Cape is located in the north of Norway, in the municipality of Nordkapp on the island Magerøya. It is often referred to as the northernmost point of mainland Europe. In fact it is Cape Nordkyn. North Cape surrounded by the Arctic Ocean includes a 300-metre high cliff. This is a real world’s end. Time seems to slow down there, people say. Another understanding of the world appears in your mind.

The surface of North Cape is plain and stony with small lakes. For a long time, only researchers visited the cape. Today, tourist infrastructure is well developed here. On the viewing platform, you can see the Globe Monument, installed there as a symbol of the unity of all nations and people.

On the cape, you can see the incredibly beautiful ocean and the northern lights.
