Our cruise passes through Honningsvåg where we embark on a thrilling expedition on ATV through
the Arctic landscape on Magerøya, a peninsula that juts out into the Arctic Ocean, home to North
Cape, the northernmost point of Continental Europe. We drive to the top of the so-called NATO
mountain, which is named after the Norwegian Air Force's radar station which was located here and
which was also part of NATO's radar system.
On the way up and down from the mountain you get expansive views of mountains, plains, fjords and
the sea, and there are many photo stops on the way. It is dark in the middle of winter, and there is no
sun to be seen even if the ATV safari is in the middle of the day. It creates a magical atmosphere in
the scenery where houses and street lighting form warm bright spots around the landscape.
Throughout the spring, the light increases with each passing day, and the landscape turns a sparkling
white against the blue sea and blue fjord.
