Kristiansund, officially rewarded township status in 1742, is a city and municipality on the northwestern coast of Norway, in the Nordmore district of county Moreog Romsdal.
The city borders islands/municipalities Smola to the northeast, Tustna to the east, Frei to the south, and Avery to the SW. In the NW, there's nothing but the Norwegian Sea, besides the small island Grip. For mail addressing purposes, the city's name is often abbreviated to Kr.sund N—the letter N standing for "North", to distinguish it from southern city Kristiansand.
