How to Travel to North Cape Island How to travel to North Cape Island. There are many ways that lead to North Cape island (Magerøya) - Europe’s northernmost point. Under mentioned you have a list of travel possibilities you can choose of: Car, motorbike, camper or bicycle The quality of the road on the North Cape island is very good. Therefore many like to take the car, motorbike or camper as a way of transportation to travel to North Cape island. But more people like to come on bicycles. It’s the E69 that leads you all the way up to the North Cape cliff. In June 1999, the sub-sea tunnel between the mainland and Magerøya Island was opened. There are no extra charges if you want to take a caravan through the tunnel. Aeroplane The nearest airport is Valan Lufthavn Honningsvåg. This is a small plane airport about 30 km. south of North Cape. Here the company Wideroe flies with direct routes from Tromsø and Kirkenes.The nearest larger airports in Finnmark are Alta Lufthavn and Banak Lufthavn Lakselv. These are operated by the companies SAS and Norwegian. www.wideroe.no www.sas.no www.norwegian.no Buss The bus company that takes you to North Cape and other places is Boreal. There are daily departures with the bus to North Cape in the summer and weekdays in the winter. When you arrive with the aeroplane in Rovaniemi in Finland the bus company Eskelisen Lapin Linjat will take you directly to North Cape in the summer season. Bus Alta - Honningsvåg Bus Hammerfest - Honningsvåg Bus Honningsvåg - Skarsvåg - Gjesvær Eskelisen Lapin Linjat (Finland) Hurtigruten The world’s most beautiful sea voyage along the Norwegian coast. Hurtigruten goes in route between Bergen in the south to Kirkenes in the east. Honningsvåg and North Cape are both very popular places to stop both on the trip south- and east over. It is also possible to take the motorbike and the car with you on Hurtigruten. Both the ships going south- and northbound stop in Honningsvåg harbour every day. www.hurtigruten.no Rental car AVIS: [email protected] Hertz: [email protected] Nordkapp Bilservice: [email protected] Taxi [email protected] WINTER Do you really want an experience of a lifetime, try a North Cape tour in the winter time! First rule first: Remember that everything may be canselled due to weather conditions. Knowing this the experience of travelling in northern Norway in the winter makes it more fun and special to reach your destinations. Winter at North Cape Visiting North Cape in the summer is something that several thousands of travellers do, but seeing this part of the world in the winter might even be a mightier experience, given you even gets all the way out to the very north point of our beautiful island. Bad weather may close down roads for several hours, and all we can do is to wait for it to clear up. The road to North Cape is in a special state in the winter. Being officially winter closed, but operated by convoy driving, you may never drive on your own this rough part in the winter. More information about convoy driving follows. Meeting point for the convoy is in the Skarsvåg crossing, 13 km from the North Cape. All cars and busses are allowed in both convoys, but preferably the individual busses and private cars should join the first one. Convoys leave daily at 11:30 – mainly private cars and individual busses. 12:30 – mainly Hurtigruten busses and scheduled bus from Honningsvåg. Return: 13:30 and 14:15 from North Cape If you don’t feel comfortable driving in winter conditions, your car is not fit for the tour or you don’t have you own car, the scheduled bus is a good option for the tour. Scheduled bus from Honningsvåg: Departs from the harbour at 12:00, all weekdays. No holidays. Price 475,- per person, roundtrip including the entrance to the North Cape hall. Other options are rental car or taxi. For more information about getting to the North Cape, please contact the tourist information in Honningsvåg: Nordkapp Reiseliv AS Phone: +47 78 47 70 30 Mail: [email protected] Driving in a convoy. When driving in Norway in the wintertime it may occur that you have to drive in a convoy, this means that a snow plow drives in front of a convoy of cars. Beware that the driver of the plow is in charge of the convoy and may refuse vehicles to follow if they are not properly equipped for the tour. The general rule is that there should not be more people in the convoy than what the rescuers can save. As for the Nordkapp road, there is always winter convoy for the last 13 km of the road. The road is very exposed to bad weather and, because of security reasons, villages are more important and the Nordkapp road is the first to close due to bad weather. Keep this in mind and preferably have a day or two extra when travelling these areas. Before a convoy, please check this: - Be sure to have enough fuel - Keep flashlight, shovel and tow rope easy accessible - It is vice to bring warm drinks and some food. - Bring warm clothes and shoes, the best is to wear the clothing and keep the car cold. - To avoid icing on the windows keep the car cold and use cold air, not warm, on the windows. - Use emergency lights - Use fog light if your car is equipped with this. - Keep eye on the car in front. - Keep steady speed and follow the convoy - Do not stop your car or try to turn around, again, follow the convoy. - If you do have to stop or the convoy stops never leave your car. This may be fatal. Behind the convoy there will always be another snow plow or safety car. The driver of the front and rear car keeps contact during the convoy and the front car may stop occasionally to check if all cars are still along. Remember never to stop or, in case of a traffical stop, never to leave your car.

  • A Post-Caledonian Dolerite Dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: Age and Geochemistry
    A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry DAVID ROBERTS, JOHN G. MITCHELL & TORGEIR B. ANDERSEN Roberts. D., Mitchell, J. G. & Andersen, T. B.: A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 71, pp. 28�294. Oslo 1991 . ISSN 0029-196X. A post-Caledonian, NW-SE trending, dolerite dyke on Magerøy has a geochemicalsignature comparable to that of continental tholeiites. Clinopyroxenes from three samples of the dolerite gave K-Ar ages of ca. 312, ca. 302 and ca. 266 Ma, suggesting a Perrno-Carboniferous age. In view of low K20 contents of the pyroxenes and the possible presence of excess argon, it is argued that the most reliable estimate of the emplacement age of the dyke is provided by the unweighted mean value, namely 293 ± 22 Ma. This Late Carboniferous age coincides with the later stages of a major phase of rifting and crustal extension in adjacent offshore areas. The dyke is emplaced along a NW-SE trending fault. Parallel or subparallel faults on Magerøy and in other parts of northem Finnmark may thus carry a component of Carboniferous crustal extension in their polyphase movement histories.

    Geology of the inner shelf west of North Cape, Norway TORE O. VORREN, YNGVE KRISTOFFERSEN & KARIN ANDREASSEN Vorren, T. 0., Kristoffersen, Y. & Andreassen, K.: Geology of the inner shelf west of North Cape, Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 66, pp. 99-105. Oslo 1986. ISSN 0029-196X. An escarpment parallel to the coast off West Finnmark marks the boundary between the Scandina­ vian landmass of crystalline rocks and the overlying sedimentary succession offshore. Seaward-dip­ ping sedimentary rocks subcrop at an erosional unconformity which in turn is overlain by horizontally stratified sediment layers. The seaward dip of the sedimentary rocks is probably due to Cenozoic up­ lift of the landmass. The uplift was predominantly flexural but there is indication of concomitant ex­ tensional faulting. The erosional unconformity is probably a polycyclic and polygenetic erosional sur­ face initiated at the mid-Oligocene lowstand of the sea leve!. Three deltas up to 30 km wide, of sup­ posed glaciomarine origin, are located at the escarpment. The deltas must have been deposited by continental ice-sheet before the last Late Weichselian readvance onto the shelf. T. O. Vorren & K.

    Community development 84 2.3 The municipality of North Cape, a ‘fringe’ community under development. Stig Hansen This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/5.3203 Introduction I would like to begin by explaining how I am able to speak to you about North Cape and its potential for business development, by giving you a little background information about myself and my involvement in the area. I was born and brought up in Honningsvåg, and have experienced changes which have, amongst other things, led to a reduction in the population of the area from over 5000 people to 3200 today. My work experience includes teaching, in primary and secondary schools, project leadership within the fishing industry, insurance advisor, business manager for North Cape Municipality, and Daily leader for North Cape Business Park. This last position I have held since 2007. We have 43 member businesses, locally and regionally. Our network includes both commercial industries and official institutions/organisations. Besides this, I lead the civic network of business managers in West Finnmark, and am leading the Business Park Network in Finnmark. I also work closely with the University in Tromsø, the High School in Finnmark, University in Trondheim (NTNU) and one of the most renowned research institutes in Norway, Sintef. As an active sportsman and a representative at the highest level of our local, 600 strong sports club, I feel I also have very good knowledge in this field. In this chapter I will comment on the current status and challenges within our main businesses of fishing, tourism, oil, and culture.

We do have that in the winter, but the land of the midnight sun is a fantastic destination in summertime as well. Even though the snowmobiles are safely in their summer storage, there is plenty of fun activities, and lots to see as well. On this tour, you’ll get a balanced sampling of activity and sightseeing as you see the countryside around Alta and then take some time to explore other destinations like North Cape, a half-day’s journey to the northern edge of the country. Your Itinerary Day 1: Welcome to Alta! You’ll be met in the afternoon by a North Adventure representative at the airport to ensure that everything is in order with your arrival. Once you collect your luggage, you will head out by taxi to Trasti & Trine, a husky dog kennel and guest house approximately 20 minutes outside of Alta.

Vi har brukt mye tid til feltobservasjoner av planter, sopp og innsekter i flere områder i Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, i tillegg noen registreringer i forbindelse med et TOV-E prosjekt for fugletelling på Finnmarksvidda og i Nordkapp kommune på en dagstur. Resultatet for feltobservasjonene ble 194 totalt arter registrert, med 85 nye arter registrert for Goarahat og Sandvikhalvøya, 16 nye arter for Porsanger og 4 første og 2 andre for Finnmark. Disse tallene er basert på data registrert Artsobservasjoner. I tillegg registrerte vi 21 arter i Kautokeino kommune og 33 arter i Nordkapp kommune. Vi gjorde en liten innsats med lysfelle i Øygarden noen få netter i 2017, men det var lite oppholdsvær og vanskelige forhold å jobbe under. I tillegg var vi i Finnmark store deler av sesongen. Personer involvert Bidragsytere til årets artsregistreringer har også i år vært Sissel og Nigel Goodgame, med god hjelp fra vår kollega Jeff Blincow fra England, som har bidratt med sin ekspertise og hjulpet til med artsbestemmelse og fotografier.

  • The Inner Shelf of North Cape, Norway and Its Implications for the Barents Shelf-Finnmark Caledonide Boundary
    Note The inner shelf of North Cape, Norway and its implications for the Barents Shelf-Finnmark Caledonide boundary CHRIS TOWNSEND Townsend, C.: The inner shelf of North Cape, Norway and its implications for the Barents Shelf­ Finnmark Caledonide boundary. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 67, pp. 151-153. Oslo 1987. ISSN 0029-196X. It is suggested that an E-W trending lineament mapped along the north coast of Finnmark, north Norway (Vorren et al. 1986), may be the offshore extension to the Trollfjord-Komgelv Fault. This would indicate that this fault has been active subsequent to the Caledonian Orogeny, controlling sedimentation, with subsidence to the north. Additionally, the boundary between the Barents Shelf and the Finnmark Caledonides may be a broad zone, of which only the offshore portion has been active in Cenozoic times. C.
