Beschrijving
Slettnes is situated at the tip of a peninsula that shoots out into the Barents Sea. The Slettnes lighthouse is the northernmost mainland lighthouse in the world. It is considered to be one of the best sites in Europe for migrating arctic ducks, divers, skuas, gulls and terns in spring and autumn. On the best days, notable species such as Geelsnavelduiker, Koningseider, Grote Burgemeester and Kleinste Jager pass in the hundreds and Middelste Jager in the thousands.
