Nordkapp, the North Cape, is a 307 meters high plateau
dropping off right into the arctic ocean, "on top of Norway".
dropping off right into the arctic ocean, "on top of Norway".
At 70* 10' 21" north, pretty much also "on top of the world".
We were there on August 15. this year,
a couple of weeks after the midnight sun season ended.
All the same, the sunset was spectacular
as we watched the sun sink into the arctic ocean.
Here with the famous globe on the edge of the plateau.
Plenty of tourists even though it was late in the season.
The setting sun's reflection in the panoramic windows
of the North Cape Centre,
which houses exhibitions, museums, information,
restaurants and of course the inevitable souvenir shop.
Shadows from the setting sun in the North Cape Centre hall.
Opposite the setting sun was the rising moon,
rising over a landscape colored red by the last sunrays.
