KJØLLEFJORD & MEHAMN ON THE NORDKYN PENINSULA
Nordkyn peninsula in Northern Norway is as far north you can reach on mainland Europe. It was not the climate that made people to settle here, it was the riches of the sea. This half island is barren and beautiful, the landscape is formed by the unforgiving weather and mighty ocean that constantly change by the season. During winter the environment can be harsh. The only road that takes you further south might close at any moment due to snow. Still the main reason for people to live here is the abundance of fish in the sea. It is the fisheries that sustain the small communities this far north. Find your adventure at https://visitnordkyn.com
