The Struve Geodetic Arc was the first technical-scientific object to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The arc was determined using angle measurements from a chain of triangles (triangulation) extending from Hammerfest in the north to the Black Sea in the south. Four of these measuring points are located in Finnmark. The meridian column marks the northernmost measuring point at Fuglenes in Hammerfest.

The best time to visit Norway's North Cape is during the summer months of May to September. After the cold winter months, temperatures climb to as high as 13°C. At the same time, over 20 hours of sunshine invite you to explore and discover this unique region.

The "Globus," erected in 1978, is the symbol of the global meeting place at the North Cape. Here, people from all over the world meet and share the experience of the North Cape's grandeur and beauty—the experience of being on the roof of Europe. Today, the North Cape Hall is anchored in the 308-meter-high cliff, providing protection from the forces of nature on the last frontier to the Arctic Ocean. The North Cape Hall is open year-round and serves as a service center for visitors to the North Cape. The hall offers a variety of facilities. The super videographer shows "The Four Seasons at the North Cape." In the underground tunnel, you will find exhibitions about the long history of the North Cape as a tourist destination. St. John's Chapel is the northernmost ecumenical chapel in the world and, combined with the "North Cape Suite," is a popular venue for wedding arrangements. An interesting souvenir and gift shop offers a wide selection. The Compass Restaurant offers excellent food and a fantastic view of the Arctic Ocean. With 250 seats, the restaurant has ample capacity for events and banquets. It has 350 seats and can be used for various events, such as conferences and concerts. Kaffehuset (the Coffee House) is a cozy spot for a good cup of coffee and fresh waffles.

The Struve Arc/Meridian Arc as a UNESCO World Heritage Site Since July 15, 2005, the entire Struve Arc/Meridian Arc has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thirty-four representative measuring points were selected, including all participating countries. The northernmost measuring point, of course, is the one in Fuglenes/Hammerfest. With the inclusion of the Struve Arc in the UNESCO World Heritage List, this listing also marked the first time a scientific project has been carried out.
