Arctic cruises are often marked by the number of arresting landmarks they explore. In Norway, one of the finest local landmarks is the pierced peak of Torghatten. The large tunnel-like hole, located in Torghatten\'s near-center, is said to have formed geologically when the tides were 600 feet higher, eroded by the near-constant waves, creating the modern-day sight. Local legend, however, has a different explanation. An angry horseman, maddened by a princess\' refusal to marry him, tried to shoot her with an arrow. In an attempt to distract the horseman, the king threw his large hat, and the arrow pierced it instead. The hat-shaped mountain of Torghatten is all that remains. Appearing like a large, almost ominous eye, the tunnel can actually be climbed through for a refreshing trek while traveling the frigid area. The trail, which is located at Torghatten\'s base, can easily be completed in a day. After completing the hike, travelers can explore the rest of Torget Island, a rugged environment that is a fun place to romp around for at least a few hours.
