Not quite right, almost, but not quite. Gkhan 01:24, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
Nordkapp? --Vik Reykja  01:33, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Three possible answers, but since you mention cold I'll go with the thought that Treriksröset is the northernmost point in Sweden, according to the article about its Norwegian neighbor Storfjord. The northernmost point in Norway is in the island province of Svalbard; the northernmost point in mainland Norway is Knivskjellodden, in the municipality of Nordkapp. FreplySpang 01:52, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Kræmerpynten. Both places are mentioned in Wikifun questions :-) -- Eugene van der Pijll 01:58, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You've got the right idea, but the wrong answer. Gkhan 09:29, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Grue's answer[edit]

As Treriksröset is the nothernmost point of Sweden, Cape Nordkinn/Kinnarodden is the nothernmost part of Norway (well, actually Rossøya is, but I think it doesn't matter here). Grue 09:38, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'd say Rossøya, Svalbard, which was the first thing I see on Extreme points of Norway. Did anyone mention that already? - fiveless 16:02, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

  • Incidentally, Svalbard means "cold edge" according to its article - fiveless 16:06, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
Rossøya, Svalbard was the answer I was looking for. Since Grue got to the right article (Extreme points of Norway), I'm going to give the points to him. Gkhan 19:14, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
