|
The North Cape (alt. 307m/975ft; lat. 71°10'21" N, longitude 25°47'40" E), in Norwegian Nordkapp, is a crag of grayish-black slate, furrowed by deep clefts, which rises abruptly from the sea on the north side of the island of Magerøy. It is regarded as the northernmost point in Europe, though in fact the cape of Knivskjelodden reaches slightly farther north (71°11'8" N).
The most northerly point on the mainland is the promontory of Nordkinn (or Nordkyn or Kinnarodden), between the Laksefjord and the Tanafjord, 68km/42mi east of the North Cape in latitude 71°8'1" north and longitude 27°40'9" east.
