A stone labyrinth near Vardø — the easternmost town in Norway, closer to Murmansk than to Oslo, where the Barents Sea meets the Arctic Ocean. The Finnmark coast labyrinths cluster near Sami burial grounds, suggesting an intersection of Nordic labyrinth tradition with indigenous Sami sacred landscape practices. Vardø was also the site of the 17th-century Finnmark witch trials, the largest witch persecution in Scandinavia. At Giza bearing 359.99° — an almost perfect due-north alignment — 4,491 km from the Great Pyramid. This near-zero bearing is geometrically extraordinary.
