lieight of 3194 feet; in the eastern part lies Storenuten, the peaks 

 of which attain a height of 2240 and 2761 feet. In the central 

 parts of the area Hananipen reaches a height of 2568, Raunipen 

 2401, and Kraanipen 2068 feet above sea-level. The mountain- 

 sides facing Sørfjorden are generally very steep, the sides facing 

 Samnangerfjorden, however, are rather sloping, and in the environs

East of these rocks there is a belt of various chiefly greenish 

 gneissose rocks, which in several places are intersected by transverse 

 dislocations. -
