Knivskjelodden[1] is a peninsula located in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway.

The nearby Kinnarodden on the Nordkinn Peninsula is the northernmost point on the mainland.

[2] The northernmost point of the country Norway is in fact Rossøya, in Svalbard, as far north as 80°N.

On Knivskjellodden, hikers can walk to the shore, which is at sea level, and at least see the ocean, but usually a view far out below the clouds as well.

Although travel agencies often organize trips for unaware tourists by advertising the North Cape (Nordkapp in Norwegian) as the northern extremity of Europe, this is not true, as Knivskjellodden is 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) further north.
