Mehamn - Norway
Mehamn is located on the Barents Sea, right on Europe's northernmost mainland.
Mehamn is a small fishing village located in the very north of Norway, in the municipality of Gamvik in Finnmark county. The village is located on the Barents Sea, right on the northernmost mainland of Europe, and is part of the Arctic landscape with its dramatic mountains, barren expanses and the endless sea that stretches out to the horizon. Despite its remote location, Mehamn has a strong local identity and history. It has been an important place for fishing and shipping for centuries, and fishing is still a central part of life here today. The village has a small population but a strong community, where people live close to nature and the changing seasons.
The landscape around Mehamn is spectacular. Here you can experience the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights dancing across the winter sky. The mountains rise steeply behind the village, and the coast is lined with cliffs, fjords and small bays. There are hiking trails, opportunities for sea fishing, snowmobile tours and bird watching – especially since the area is rich in Arctic wildlife. Mehamn is also known for being one of the northernmost ports served by Hurtigruten, making the village a stopover for both tourists and locals.
