Why Nordkapp matters

Nordkapp is a 300-metre-tall cliff plunging into the Arctic Ocean. Visitors come to stand at what is often called the northernmost point of Europe that you can reach by road, and a globe monument marks the spot. In summer the midnight sun lights the sky, and in winter the cape can be wild with storms. It's a long journey north, but it's an unforgettable end-of-the-road feeling.

Talking points

  • A globe monument marks the point.
  • Midnight sun shines in summer.
  • The cliff is reached by a road across the island of Magerøya.
