Nordkapps first guestbook
0
The stone, or North Cape’s first guestbook as it is known, is North Cape’s highest natural point. You now find yourself at 309 meters above sea level and North Cape Hall is built around the stone. Here, guests from all over the world carved their names in order to prove that they had reached Europe’s most northerly point. The oldest inscription uncovered is from 1838. Can you find anything older than that? The most prominent guest who has marked his visit to the North Cape on the Stone is the King of Siam, present-day Thailand. King Rama V the great visited the plateau in 1907 and carved his royal crest into the stone. On the wall, you can see a picture of him and his entourage, and if you go three floors down and through the tunnel you will find a museum solely dedicated to King Rama V. Visitors from around the world choose to throw money on the stone for good luck. The money is collected and donated to the Children of the Earth association.
