ICE BAR
(

;
Sjøgata 1a; adult/child Nkr125/30; 10am-9pm Apr-Sep)
For a shiver in summer and sense of how Nordkapp must hit the senses in winter, visit
this ice bar. Owner José Milares, himself a polar photographer and adventurer, talks with
passion of the shapes, bubbles and inadvertent abstract art in the pure ice that he garners
freshly each season. The kids can crawl into an igloo that he constructs each year and, if
they'relucky,meetLonchas,hisparticularlyfurryandcharmingAlaskanmalamutehound.

The fee for taking the tunnel from the mainland to Magerøya will, as with all toll tun-
nels in Norway, be dropped, once construction costs are recovered. This happy mo-
ment should occur in 2013, or maybe earlier - scarcely surprisingly given the savage
rates imposed since it was opened.
