Tromsø is the largest city and the most important cultural center in the north of Norway. The city is about 500 kilometers north of the polar circle; which corresponds to the geographical latitude of North Alaska. Here are the northernmost university, the northernmost cathedral and the most northern brewery in the world. The city is spread over the mainland and several islands off the coast and is the largest city in Europe with a surface area of 2,558 km². Tromsø was and is one of the most important starting points for expeditions to the polar regions. Roald Amundsen, on the other hand, was the first person to reach the South Pole on December 14, 1911, about four weeks before his great opponent, the Englishman R. F. Scott. Tromsø is also the pier of the Hurtigruten, whose founder, Richard With, was born in the city.
