County View.154

Nordkapp is continental Europe’s northernmost point, at 71N, located in the county of Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost county. In our first post from this stop I showed you the main town; today I’m showing you the marker above & below, plus some of the surroundings and various photos from the history exhibits and dioramas inside the museum, giftshop and cafe building. Before they built the road and museum, people had to rock up in boats and scale the cliffs: that’s one of the dioramas below :-). And yes, in 1907 the King of Thailand visited Nordkapp; as you see it was rather cold and windy when we were there so we enjoyed thinking of balmier climes…
