The gateway to
the North Cape, Honningsvag was in mediaeval times believed to lie on the
edge of the world. The region is one of icy winds and the land of the
midnight sun and offers the visitor spectacular landscapes and stunning
views. The rocky promontory of North Cape was first discovered in 1553 by
English captain Richard Chancellor while on an ultimately unsuccessful
attempt to find a new passage to China. The captain, however, developed
significant commerce on the Russian coast at Mourmansk and became very
wealthy. Photos divided by days and topics/places
