Okshornan, Mountain summit in Senja Municipality, Norway.
Okshornan rises 302 meters above sea level on the western coast of Senja island, featuring steep cliffs that extend directly from the ocean.
The mountain stands in a region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people who maintained fishing communities and practiced reindeer herding through generations.
The name Okshornan translates to Ox Horns, reflecting the mountain's natural formation that bears a strong resemblance to bovine horns against the Arctic sky.
Visitors reach the mountain through designated hiking trails from Senja Municipality, with the main access point located near the coastal road network.
During winter months, the northern lights dance above Okshornan's peaks, creating a natural display that appears on the official Senja Municipality coat of arms.
