En sjöresa runt Nordkalotten


Trip to the utmost north of Europe

Page 8 Friday night July 18 - Saturday morning July 19

 

Mehamn

Mehamn is another of these fishing villages we called at.
I really liked to see these northern villages with the houses painted in many colours
Grass but no trees, we are above the vegetation limit for trees.
The village is situated on Nordkynhalvøya.
It is the most northern place on the European mainland
71.0° N 27.8° E


Öde trädlös kust en disig morgon
Desolate coastline at Varanger peninsula early Saturday morning
Here the mountains are not as high and peaky as where we have passed earlier on the tour.
