Nordkapp is firmly in the tourist trap category as an attraction... it's a desolate bit of land that charges an entrance fee so you can buy overpriced tourist junk. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forum/rolleyes.gif

I'd suggest heading down the south to see the fjords, or going puffin-watching in the Lofoten Islands instead. If you must collect a 'northernmost X in the world' point, try Hammerfest, the world's (or at least Europe's?) northernmost city... nothing much there either except fish processing factories, but at least you can get a Polar Bear Club stamp for free!
