The post office with postcode N-9764 Nordkapp
is located inside the tourist center at North Cape, but it is not the northernmost
post office of Norway. N-9170 Longyearbyen (78° 13′ 24″ N,
15° 38′ 49″ E – and 837 km
north of North Cape) is the correct address of the northernmost
Norwegian post office, while the N-9173 Ny-Ålesund (78° 55′ 0″ N,
11° 56′ 0″ E – some 112 km
further more north) keeps the northernmost Norwegian post code.
Ny-Ålesund keeps no post office, only a small letter house.
The northernmost point of Norway is on Rossøya
I. located on 80° 49′ 44.41″ N,
20° 20′ 32.29″ E while the
northernmost point of Europe is Cape Fligely, Russia on 81° 50′ 35″ N,
59° 14′ 22″ E. The northernmost point on European
mainland is Cape Nordkinn on 71° 8′ 2″ N,
27° 39′ 0″ E – not very far away from Nordkapp –
only 67,5 km to the east – but not so easily accessible.
