Slettnes (71°05'N
28°13'O) is a coastal plain at the northeastern tip of Nordkinn
(or Nordkyn) Peninsula in Finnmark, Norway (east of North Cape). At first
sight the vegetation may seem sparse. The lack of trees and shrubs and
the wide expanses of stony "desert" give a strange impression.
However, plants life is not as sparse as one might think. More than 350
different species of plants have been registered at Nordkinn.
