{{main|North Cape, Norway}}
The municipality is named after ''Nordkapp'' (''North Cape''), a {{convert|307|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} cliff that is commonly referred to as the northernmost point of Europe. However, the true northernmost point of the European mainland is [[Cape Nordkinn]] ({{lang|no|Kinnarodden}}), at 71° 08′ 02″ N, located about {{convert|20|km}} from the village of [[Mehamn]] on the [[Nordkinn Peninsula]]. If Europe's northernmost point is allowed to be on an island, then it still is not the North Cape. It would be [[Cape Fligely]] on [[Rudolf Island]], [[Franz Josef Land]] in [[Russia]], which is located much further north at 81° 48′ 24″ N. If Franz Josef Land is not considered to be in Europe, then Europe's northernmost point is the northern point of the island of [[Rossøya]], an islet in [[Svalbard]], north of [[Spitsbergen]] at 80° 49′ 44.41″ N.
