North Cape, Norway in winter

The North Cape is the name of a cliff located at 71° 10′ 21″ north latitude, 307 meters above the Barents Sea level of the Arctic Ocean. It is usually referred to as the northernmost point of continental Europe. However, the true northernmost point of continental Europe is the Nordknaphut, located at 71° 08′ 02″ north latitude in Norway. Nordkapp is a municipality in Tromsø-Finnmark county, with Honningsvåg as its administrative centre. Other towns and villages include: Jesvell, Køfjord, Kämvanrhe, Kärvik, Nordvågen, Repvåg, Skarsvåg and Valan. The North Cape first became famous in 1553 when English explorer Richard Chancellor attempted to find a sea route through the Northeast Passage. For centuries, this has been a great adventure for travelers. As a majestic landmark, it has always challenged explorers, royalty and tourists from the north. This coastal city (although by Chinese standards it's pretty rural) is home to a large seabird colony. Jes Verstappen's island group is one of the most famous, with at least 2,500 pairs of razorbills. The road to North Point was built in 1956 and the last section is narrow, with steep slopes and many bends. The weather in the North Cape changes rapidly. It can change from sunshine to cloudy, from strong wind to calm in an instant. Especially in winter, if there is a blizzard, the traffic here will be paralyzed. Therefore, there are almost no tourists here in winter, and the Northern Lights are also rarely seen. But I still prefer the North Cape in winter, even though we have to follow the snowplow (Figure 2) to enter the North Cape in winter. The photo in Figure 3 was taken at 23:37 on November 20, 2015. The brightest part on the left side of the globe is the moon. Although I had always wanted to take a picture of the Northern Lights and the globe in the same frame, and although I spent 6 nights, I was ultimately unable to do so. The Northern Lights are like this. When you think you can’t see them tonight, they appear in Valanciunas (Figure 15). Unfortunately, it was already 39 kilometers away from the North Cape, and this fishing village was still light polluted. #OverseasTravel #Norway #NorwegianAttractions #NorwegianTravel #ILoveNorway #NorthernLights #ArcticTrip #BarentsSea #FishingVillage #Moon #arctic #norway #aurora #nordkapp
