about Kristiansund

Kristiansund, officially rewarded township status in 1742, is a town in the Nordmøre district of the county Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It had 17,105 inhabitants as of January 1, 2004, and covers 22 km². The town's name is often written as Kristiansund N (N as in North), to distinguish it from Kristiansand S.

Kristiansund is built on four islands, where Nordlandet, also called Marokko ("Morocco"), is the largest and site of the local airport, Kvernberget (IATA code: KSU). Gomalandet and Kirk(e)landet, second and third in size, are considered 'separate islands' even though they hang together. The smallest island is Innlandet (or Tahiti). Kristiansund is one of the most densely populated cities of Norway, arguably having the country's most urban small city center, due to the relatively small size of the four islands on which it is built and the very constricted central harbour/town area of Kirk(e)landet.

Started in 1876 and still going strong is the Sundbåt ("Sound (Strait) Boat") shuttle service with a capacity of a few tens of passengers, travelling between the islands. The small motor ferry crosses the harbour from Kirk(e)landet to Innlandet, then goes on to Nordlandet, to Gomalandet, and back to Kirk(e)landet, repeating the round trip in half-hour intervals morning to evening on weekdays. The Sundbåt bears the distinction of being the world's oldest motorized regular public transport system in continous service.
