Besselvassheia

Besselvassheia is a mountain in the municipality of Frøya in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 76 m tall mountain is the highest point on the island of Frøya. It lies about 4 km west of the village of Sistranda and about 4 km northwest of the village of Hammarvika.

Name
The mountain was unnamed until the autumn of 2009 when it was given the name Besselvassheia, after the nearby lake Besselvatnet.

The well-known Norwegian Soccer trainer Drillo, also known for his interest in geography, told a local resident, Frank Angelvik, that the highest point of Frøya was unnamed. Together with Halgeir Hammer, a local guide, the naming contest was announced in September 2009. Some of the names that were runners-up were: Frøyberget, Frøytuva, Halgeirtoppen, Halgeirguten, and Besselberget.
