King Oscar II in Nordkapp - Norway Historical Sites on Waymarking.com

At the coordinates, there is an obelisk in honor of King Oscar II who visited Nordkapp on July 2nd, 1873.

On the plaque, one can read :

"That is what King Oscar II, Union King of Norway and Sweden, said during the unveiling of the kingmonument at North Cape.

Not as a transitory adornment, but as a solemn sign that the Kingdom of Norway reaches hither, therefore I have erected this monument at the outermost point of the North.

King Oscart II
Nort Cape
2 July 1873"

Nordkapp is a cape on the northern coast of the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. The European route E69 highway has its northern terminus at North Cape, since it is a popular tourist attraction.

The cape includes a 307-metre high cliff with a large flat plateau on top where visitors can stand and watch the midnight sun or the views of the Barents Sea to the north. A new visitor centre was built in 1988 on the plateau with panoramic views, a café, restaurant, post office, souvenir shop, and a so-called super video cinema.
