Okshornan peaks
Like jagged teeth.

Tungeneset is a rocky headland and viewpoint on the National Tourist Route on the island of Senja in northern Norway, about 38 km in a straight line north-west of the town of Finnsnes. It faces the Okshornan, the «ox horns», a row of peaks rising above the Ersfjord. Okshornan, or Oksen, is a mountain range whose highest point, Store Okshornet, reaches 559 m; it can be seen from the National Tourist Route Senja, and a viewpoint has been built for it at Tungeneset. Some call the peaks the «Devil's Teeth», but the name has no historical basis. The third horn has a hole through it, the subject of an old local legend about two rival peaks. Smooth grey and pink rocks run down to the sea, dotted with clear pools that mirror the jagged peaks standing above the water like a row of sharp teeth. A wooden boardwalk leads from the car park among rocks and shrubs to the tip of the headland, where green waves break, and the view opens on the other side over the Steinfjorden. Visiting is free. The rocks near the water are slippery and waves can be strong; in summer the midnight sun stays above the horizon, and in winter the northern lights may appear over the peaks.
