Øksfjordjøkelen (Northern Sami: Ákšovuonjiehkki) is the ninth largest glacier in mainland Norway. The glacier is located on the border between Finnmark and Troms counties. The 42-square-kilometre (16 sq mi) glacier lies in both Loppa and Kvænangen municipalities.The highest point was earlier known to have an elevation of 1204 metres (3950 ft). It is now a mere 1191 metres (3907 ft) due to climate change. But it still is for the time being the highest point in all of Finnmark county.
