Geocache Description:


Online "found it" logs that do not have a corresponding name on the physical logbook will be deleted.


"This is Berk. It's twelve days north of Hopeless, and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery."


Berk is a relatively small island that's the primary setting of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. This island is home to the many Vikings of the Hooligan Tribe and many dragons as well, including a rare Night Fury named Toothless & his Viking best friend, Hiccup.


Berk is a rather round island, similar to an oval shape, and it looks quite small on maps. It contains many interesting geological landforms such as rocky arches and cliffs, beaches, waterfalls, streams and several large forests. There is also a massive cavern under the village which now serves as space for dragon stables.

Berk receives two weeks of the midnight sun every year, putting it roughly 70 km south of the Arctic Circle at a latitude of around 65 degrees, 54 minutes North. It's located in the Barbaric Archipelago.


As for the climate, Berk is known to have extremely cold, long winters and short warm summers.

"It snows nine months of the year- and hails the other three."

"Boasting the kind of balmy fun-in-the-sun climate that will give you frostbite on your spleen."

"Winter on Berk lasts most of the year. It hangs on with both hands and won't let go."

"We've got ice, we've got snow . . . and we've got more ice."
