the most northerly point of Europe, is situated in the island of Mageröe, separated from Norway by a narrow strait; N. Lat. 71. 10., E. Long. 25. 46. It consists of a long range of steep rocks, about three-quarters of a mile broad, and 1200 feet above the sea. The geological structure of these rocks consists of gneiss, quartz, and other primary formations. On the E. side there is a small bay, hollowed out of the rock, which affords a landing-place; but at all other parts it is inaccessible from the sea.
