Svartfjellet, Loppa
Svartfjellet (Norwegian) or Čáhppesčohkka (Northern Sami) is a mountain in Loppa Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It lies alongside the small glacier Svartfjelljøkelen, a few kilometers north of the larger glacier Øksfjordjøkelen. The village of Bergsfjord lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) straight west of the mountain.
For many years, Svartfjellet was regarded as the highest mountain in Finnmark, but this was due to a measurement error. The highest point in Finnmark actually lies on the glacier Øksfjordjøkelen on the mountain Loppatinden.
