Skarsvåg Harbour - Nordkapp, Norway
This live camera looks over the harbour of Skarsvåg, the northernmost fishing village in the world, sitting at 71 degrees north in the Nordkapp municipality of Finnmark, Norway. The fishing boats, stone quays, and dramatic Arctic mountain backdrop give this feed a genuinely remote and elemental feel unlike almost any other harbour camera on the site.
Skarsvåg sits just a few kilometres from the North Cape plateau, the northernmost point of mainland Europe, where the land drops in a sheer 307 metre cliff straight into the Barents Sea. From late May to late July the sun never sets here, bathing the village in the continuous golden light of the Midnight Sun, while from November to January it barely rises at all.
Did You Know? Skarsvåg has a permanent population of around 60 people, making it not only the northernmost fishing village in the world but one of the most isolated permanently inhabited communities in Europe. Despite its remoteness, it has been continuously occupied for centuries, sustained entirely by the rich cod and king crab fisheries of the Barents Sea.
