Honningsvag
Norway
Honningsvag is the northernmost city/town in mainland Norway. It is located in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county. Honningsvag was declared a city in 1996, despite its small population.
Honningsvag is situated at a bay on the southeastern side of the large island of Magerøya, while the famous North Cape and its visitor center are on the northern side of the island. Honningsvag is a port of call for Hurtigruten Coastal Express and cruise ships, especially in the summer months. The ice-free ocean (the southwestern part of the Barents Sea) provides rich fisheries and tourism is also important to the town. Even at 71°N, many private gardens in Honningsvag have trees, although rarely more than 3 to 4 metres (9.8 to 13.1 ft) tall.
The famous dog Bamse came from Honningsvag.
