The North Cape is a 307-meter-high cliff on the northern coast of the island of Mageroya in Western Finnmark, Northern Norway. It is widely regarded as Europe’s northernmost point. The North Cape is a spectacular adventure with amazing sights that everyone must see.
The Gjesvaerstappan bird cliff is home to hundreds of thousands of puffins, gannets, and cormorants, while the trek to Kirkeporten’s natural arch provides a beautiful perspective of the North Cape. Climbing to Cape Knivskjellodden, where you can see the North Cape cliff up close, is more difficult and rewarding. Go fishing for huge, ugly king crabs and then eat the delectable beasts.
The North Cape is Norway’s most northerly point, and so it receives the midnight sun for the longest period, from May 14 to July 29. However, midnight sunlight is far from assured at this period due to the Arctic Sea’s cold and warm currents, which generate a lot of fog in the area. This makes it even more lovely when the sun is high in the sky above a bronze-colored sea.
