Today we sailed past Hammerfest which claims to be the northern most city in the world. This claim is in dispute with Honningsvåg which is further North but maybe is not a city. Barrow in Alaska which is further North yet again but does not claim to be a city.
Later in the day we sailed past North Cape which claims to be the northern most point of mainland Europe. An unusual claim since this point is on an island not connected to the mainland.

Passed by the North Cape, this time heading south. We toasted to the Cape with Champagne.
