Welcome to Kristiansund

Kristiansund formerly Lillefosen or Fosna, officially awarded township status in 1742, is a city and municipality on the northwestern coast of Norway, in the Nordmøre district of county Møre og Romsdal.
The city borders islands/municipalities Smøla to the northeast, Tustna to the east, Frei to the south, and Averøy to the SW. In the NW, there's nothing but the Norwegian Sea, besides the small island Grip.
Kristiansund is built on four islands, where Nordlandet ("North Land"), humorously called Marokko ("Morocco"), is the largest, and the site of the local airport, Kvernberget (IATA code: KSU). Gomalandet and Kirk(e)landet ("Church Land"), second and third in size, are considered separate "lands" (islands) even though they are connected. The smallest island is Innlandet ("Innermost Land"; humorously, "Tahiti").
