Arrived in Honningsvag, gateway town to the North Cape midday. It was dark and overcast but no rain. Instead of boarding a bus to go to the Cape, opted to hiked up to the high plateau (~1000 ft) above the town.
It was the right decision: spectacular desolate expanses....
Beautiful colorful tundra.... and,
reindeer!
See in the harbor: A traditional drying rack for cod/stock fish, the staple of the region. The crew on the ferry told us that, to date, no modern technology had been developed that dried cod better than the traditional method. So that is how it is still done.
Very cool drying racks!
