Arvid Hanssen

Hanssen was born in Vika at Indre Senja in Troms county.

His songs reached a wide audience through Tove Karoline Knutsen's 1980 album Blå kveill, which was based on Hanssen's lyrics.

Lenvik Municipality named a road Arvid Hanssens plass after him.

A bust of the writer is located outside the cultural centre in Finnsnes.
