Name
The mountain was unnamed until the autumn of 2009 when it was given the name Besselvassheia, after the nearby lake Besselvatnet.[2]
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.[3] 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.

I Oslo sitter det en kjent geografi-nerd og vet det samme som oss - at Frøyas høyeste topp ikke har noe navn. In Oslo, there is a known geography nerd who knows the same thing that we do, that Freyja's highest peak has no name.
