I spent 24 hours at the North Cape, and I took 24 panoramas, one every hour ! This was my most challenging accomplishment, especially in the morning, when we made only one night dotted... I actually brought my tent, and "slept" next to the camper-car... Here is a collection of 24 panoramas, where I recovered only area including the sun, to recompose all... I was in the "wrong" North Cape, North Cape "touristy", located on the cliff 307m high. (The "real" North Cape is actually Knivskjellodden, 1.5 km to the north: I planted the tent the night after!)

The Trollfjord is an arm of the sea two kilometers in length. It separates the two islands of northern Norway that are Lofoten and Vesterålen. It rose by Hurtigruten during the summer season, between places and Svolvær Stokmarknes with a single purpose of tourism, the fjord is very narrow and requires the completion of a 'turn around three times' but deep enough order to allow navigation of vessels.

Today it serves daily 34 ports spread over 2700 km between Bergen (southwest Norway) and Kirkenes (Russian border, beyond the North Cape). Fleet of eleven modern ships, combining freight, passenger and cruise, which perform the round trip in eleven days. The development of road and air saw the importance of freight traffic decline; cruises took over. The new vessels are worthy of the best cruise ships crew and officers during the summer fly these ships in the fjords closer (Geirangerfjord Trollfjord) to make one of Hurtigruten's most spectacular sailing world. Beyond a simple means of transport, Hurtigruten has now become a tourist attraction, experiencing a growing success, as travelers are attracted by the beauty of the Norwegian coast, deeply indented, by the possibility of achieving high northern latitudes, where you can observe in the summer midnight sun and northern lights in winter.

Three panoramas coming gave me a lot of trouble to assemble... They were taken freehand on a boat forward, and more, for the landscape, I had run across the bridge for every point of view!Hurtigruten is the name of the regular service of ships which liaises between 34 ports of the Norwegian coast since the 1890.Le Hurtigruten, the "Quick Start" in Norwegian, translated by Coastal Express in French, was launched in 1893 by Richard With who left Trondheim towards Hammerfest aboard the steamship Vesteraalen. The company saw Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskap and day. Widely supported by grants from the Norwegian government, the line has long been a lifeline for many villages which ships delivered food, and new materials, and means of transport in a country where land communications are not easy. The line was operated by nine different companies during its history, but only the owner currently operates, Hurtigruten ASA.

The village is Nusfjord in all tourist guides, which encourages us to visit. In fact, buildings and rorbuers of this picturesque village have been renovated. The museum village is nice to visit: inside some houses is available, furnished as in the old days. In one of them, a film is even projected to explain the daily life of fishermen. For cons, the number of tourists is more important than the rest of Lofoten...

Around 23:00, the first tourists flock, and around 23:30, it is the crowd, dozens of buses spew their tourists, who have only 20-30min to take their photo, no time to enjoy the show... In any case, the driver / guide told them that the sun did not move around midnight, they saw and therefore necessarily the midnight sun. After that, if you stay too long, you will be too tired for tomorrow... Me, it's from 3:00 p.m. I'm in the same place, and I'm shoot a panorama by hours! I just moved to take the panorama above, the first of this post to be in the shadow of the sphere. Otherwise, the 24 panoramas, I chose to put me on the edge of the barrier above the sea. As usual, I sketch up panoramas, to keep a minimum of the world. In short, it was rush hour in a London subway when I took this panorama to 'FALSE' North Cape, the Northern Cape Tourism !

115 years ago, June 24, 1893, the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen and his companions left Oslo on board the Fram, to what the Royal Geographical Society of London then considered the draft's most dangerous ever conceived: a drift through the Arctic Ocean. The existence of a polar current and imagine that a ship can withstand ice pressure, was utopian to many. The Fram is a ship that was used to polar exploration in succession by the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen, Otto Sverdrup and Roald Amundsen between 1893 and 1912. It is a three-masted schooner of 39 meters long and 11 meters wide, designed by Norwegian naval architect Colin Archer in anticipation of the Nansen expedition, during which she was to be caught by the pack to drift over the North Pole. The expedition managed to get caught in the ice, and came out three years later. The Fram is now on display in Oslo and kept in a museum dedicated to him, the Frammuseet. This adventure is to be compared with another expedition, completed in late January 2008 the Tara. The expedition 'Tara Arctic' project was also being caught in the ice to study the ice drift. The boat went over the North Pole than the previous expedition, and has remained imprisoned ice 'only' 1 year and a half... At each draw conclusions that wish...
