The North Cape is located on a 307 m high, steep cliff and is often referred to as the northernmost point of Europe, located at 71° 10′ 21″ N 25° 47′ 40″ E. The North Cape was named by English explorer Richard Chancellor in 1553 when he passed the cape in the search for a Northeast passage. Famous visitors include King Oscar II of Norway in 1873 and Thailand's King Chulalongkorn in 1907.
