Besselvassheia, 76-metre (249 ft) above sealevel, is the highest point in the municipality of Frøya. The mountain was unnamed until the autumn of 2009 when it was given the name Besselvassheia^[1] The name is from a nearby lake, Besselvatnet.

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.^[2] Together with Halgeir Hammer, a local guide, the naming contest was announced in September 2009.

Some of the runner-up names were: Frøyberget, Frøytuva, Halgeirtoppen, Halgeirguten og Besselberget.
