		I have to admit that when on a boat in the area I stayed on board enjoying the midnight sun rather than join the hordes going off on an excursion to the official North Cape.
		But you might always wonder what additional information/whimsical souvenirs/photo opportunities you may have missed by not going to the official one if you are in the neighbourhood.
		So it looks like Gamvik at a minimum and Cape Nordkinn if we dare get off the beaten path.

		The cache is located near the Kinnarodden cliff at the northern tip of the Nordkinn peninsula.
		Surrounded by nothing but stones and with a view to the waters of Barents Sea this is a place where you can experience the poor beauty of lonesome nature.
		This was a really great outdoor experience, totally different from walking the marked tracks in the southern (from Nordkinn point of view) Scandinavian fjell.
