| North Cape on 71° 10′ 21″ N,
25° 47′ 40″ E (in the
background and in Norwegian originally called Knyskanes) is considered the
northernmost point of Europe. Reality is a bit far from that – in fact the majestic
cape itself keeps no geographical record. The point on where I am standing on this
photo – at Cape Knivskjellodden on 71° 11′ 6″ N,
25° 40′ 42″ E – is
almost 1400 meters further north of North Cape. |

|
| Cape Knivskjellodden is the
very northernmost point of Europe – and mainland Norway (excluding remote
islands), but is not the northernmost
point of Norway! The local tourist association has built a cairn near the
point. |
