These are #photographs of the Midnight Sun at Nord Kapp in Norway during the Summer of 2007.
North Cape or in Norwegian, Nordkapp is a cape on the northern coast of the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. The European route E69 motorway has its northern terminus at North Cape, which makes it the northernmost point in Europe that can be accessed by car.
The plateau, which some would argue resembles the stump of a tree, with it's 307-metre-high cliff (1,007 ft) and the large flat plateau on top, where visitors can watch the midnight sun and views of the Barents Sea to the north.
North Cape Hall, a visitor centre includes a café, restaurant, post office, souvenir shop, a small museum, with video cinema means you can arrive early, set up camp and be in good time for the Midnight Sun. It's probably best not to start the drive south after you have seen the sun.
Midnight sun, also known as polar day, is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the Sun remains visible at the local midnight. The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs in winter, when the Sun stays below the horizon throughout the day.
The Galleries on this page include Reindeer near Honningsvag, North Kapp during what is considered the Day and then the Midnight Sun which is when the Sun starts to set but then doesn't set! We've curated these with a light touch and included some which may appear similar to each other so we can maximise the number of available images for printing purposes.
