After a journey through Sweden, Finland and Norway on a beautiful sunny day you come in to the North Cape. Do you ride for €60 by the toll booths to the official car park, or you walk to the edge of the Cape with the Arctic Ocean in depth? We opted for the latter. At about 300 m depth you see the ice cold water against the coast. From here it is only 2080 km to the North Pole, but we do not anyway, first by the cold water and then over the ice seems to me just go too far, but who knows in the future .... ever.

The North Cape is not the northernmost tip of the whole of Europe, that is Cape Fligely on the Franz Josef land archipelago, which belongs to Europe and approximately 600 km north of the North Cape. The North Cape is also not the northernmost point of mainland Europe. Even when you're small islands not included, is it something eastly Kinnarodden actually the northernmost tip.
