    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.

  • 2.3 the Municipality of North Cape, a 'Fringe' Community Under Development. Stig Hansen
    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.

  • AIP 020: Summer in Finnmark
    Activities in Alta SUMMER TOURS AIP 020: Summer in Finnmark Location: Alta, Norway, plus day tours around in Finnmark County Airport: Arrive and depart Alta (ALF) Duration: 5 nights, 6 days Minimum/Maximum 2 – 4 people Clothing and gear: Be prepared for anything in the arctic summertime – rain coat and trousers, sweaters for cool weather, plus t-shirts and shorts in case of warm weather. Sturdy shoes that can get wet and dirty, for hiking. Your Tour Many people think of the arctic as a winter play paradise – snowmobiles and dogsleds, skis and fatbikes to take you along trails under the northern lights. 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. You’ll check in and get acquainted with your delightful surroundings out in the forest.
