Finally we were going to see the North Cape.

In contrast to what most people think, the North Cape (Nordkapp) is not the northernmost point of Europe. In fact, when you are heading to the North Cape, you have the possibility to do an 18km round trip hike to Knivskjelodden, which is situated farther north.
