Day 142. North Cape/Honningsvåg, Norway

I took the tour to North Cape (Nordkapp) on the northern coast of the island of Magerøya in northern Norway. European route E69 highway has its northern terminus at North Cape, which makes it the northernmost point in Europe that can be accessed by car and makes the E69 the northernmost public road in Europe. The tourist spot has a plateau with an iconic iron globe that marks the northernmost spot that's reachable by car.
We're deep in the Arctic, but it's pretty mild. 30⁰ F lowest temp; 60⁰F  is the highest.
Approx 6,500 Reindeer live here, which is 10x the number of people who live on the island. Just like the deer in the U.S. Reindeer can be very destructive of gardens, etc.
Females have antlers now until they deliver their babies. Then, the males will grow antlers. So, guess what? Rudolph was female.
They tout "Northernmost" for everything here (bars, holtels, restaurants, etc).
60,000 campers come to North Cape (NordKapp) each year. It's another great place to visit.Read more
