Arctic coastal road around Senja's outer edge.
A National Tourist Route hugging the outer coast of Senja island in Arctic Norway, running between Botnhamn and Gryllefjord on Fv862 and Fv86. The narrow winding road threads fjords and rock-cut tunnels past the Bergsbotn viewing platform and the Tungeneset boardwalk facing the jagged Okshornan peaks. Mind the narrow tunnels, winter ice and exposed coastal weather.
