Nordkapp is only 71° 10' 21". <br /><br />And then if Franz Josef Land is not considered to be in Europe, then Europe's nothernmost point is the northern point of Rossøya, an islet north of Spitsbergeat 80° 49' 44.41" North. <br /><br />I want to try to get there to one of them at least if I can by sidecar just to say I was "Really" at Europe's Northernmost Point, but neither of them are particularly navigable. I may have to hike in like you guys did :-)<br /><br />But you guys went further than most do. Most don't even bother to find out about Kinnarodden. Good job on hiking out there.<br /><br />Murph.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342381117303216041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1574664322471762652.post-47797659328206590592013-02-01T23:43:47.409+02:002013-02-01T23:43:47.409+02:00Nordkapp is a great place.
