Geocache Description:


The world's most northerly Letterbox/Hybrid Geocache?

Set to celebrate Way, Way Up (a follow-up to my 2014 event at the northern tip of Knivskjelodden, mainland Europe’s northernmost point) which I held in May 2022.

How to find this cache: First, go to the given co-ords and find a frozen figure (Also an AdLab location and used for at least one other geocache).

A: What is in his RIGHT hand? Spade=0 Pickaxe=1 Lantern=2 Sword=3.
B: Does he have: Just a Moustache=0 A Goatee Beard=2 Full Beard=4 No Facial Hair=6.
C: In his LEFT hand is a ring. How many items (pickaxe heads, I think?) are on it? =C.

Then project a waypoint ABC9 metres at (C-A)AC.C(B+C) degrees. That's where you'll find the final cache, which includes a stamp. This stamp makes this cache a Letterbox/Hybrid. Please do not remove it!

BIG thanks to gurraneleh for their local help and guardianship of this cache, and to Hexa Nomos for the fast publication.

Good luck, stay warm, have fun!
