	Nordkapp, which just means North Cape in Norwegian, is a tourist attraction that markets itself as the northernmost point in Europe. Two problems: 1. It's actually on an island, so the northernmost point on mainland Europe is farther east, and a little south, and 2. It's not the northernmost point on the island either, that's a couple miles west and slightly to the north, as you can see in the map. It is about 160 km (100 miles) north of Tromsų, and about as close to the North Pole as to Berlin. I got there when the tourist part hadn't opened yet, so I avoided the 200 kroner ($30) entrance fee.
	The entrance gates, where you would pay the admission fee. They look kind of out of place half snowed in.
