If you read Swedish I can scan an article of "Hisön, where two kingdoms meet".

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Norwegian border fun (from a distance)

After NOSE marker no. 1 in fair weather, you might try FINO no. 295 in somewhat less summery circumstances: http://home.no.net/pglider/2001/grensen/grensen.htm (last two photographs). One thing is clear to me now: the FINOSE type marker is the normal one on the NO border. One question though. Why is NOSE no. 1 no. 1? In other words, why did "they" start the marker count right there? To the north, the enumeration from no. 1 is straightforward, but in the other direction other designations are used. First (and I have this info from Norgesglasset, just by clicking around), At the sea end of NOSE, there are the markers I, II, IIA, IIB, IIC, then the alphabet is used: A, B, C, D etc. (not forgetting intermediate markers like for instance KA, KB, KC, KD, and even KBa, KBb, KBc, KBd, KBe), up to no. 1. Were these sections established in different periods? Peter H. or Jesper, any ideas? Peter S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
