The Storsteinfiellet is a mountain range in the municipality of Narvik in Nordland in Norway . The mountain ridge is a good 13 kilometers long. The highest peaks are found in the southeastern part. The 1894 m above sea level The highest peak is also called Kirkenne , but the name Storsteinfjellet is also used. A good half a kilometer away is the 1872 meter high southeastern peak, while in the northeastern ridge there are two 1791 m and 1701 m high nameless secondary peaks. The main ridge goes from the southern of the two main peaks in a north-westerly direction to the 1641 meter high Storsteinsfiellet, in between there are two more nameless peaks, 1732 and 1717 meters high. The 1558 meter high peak of the western foothills is called Rienatčohkka ; it is separated from the main ridge by a 1352 m high glaciated saddle.
Almost the entire summit area is surrounded by glaciers, but the mountain peaks themselves are not covered with ice. On the southeast flank between the two main peaks lies the Storsteinfjellet glacier , which is connected to the Sealggajiekna on the north side . The term Storsteinfjellet Glacier is often used for the entire glacier mass that covers the mountain range, but which consists of several mostly nameless glaciers and dead ice fields. The Glacier Atlas lists no fewer than 15 numbered ice surfaces. All ice surfaces drain into the water system of Elvegårdselva (Skjoma) . North of the mountain range are the lakes Leirvatnet and Sealggajávri (or Sælkajavrre), on the opposite side of the lake is the mountain Ristačohkka. In the south of the Norddalen the Elvegårdselva river flows into the Skjomen, south of the valley lies the mountain range with the Nuorjjovárri. To the west, the Lossivatnet lake and the Rienatvággi valley, which separates the mountain range from the Rienatćohkka and Nikevárri mountains.
