Geography

The 9.1-square-kilometre (3.5 sq mi) island lies just south of the large island of Sotra, along the northern side of the Korsfjorden. The village of Klokkarvik lies about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the island.

The island is connected to Sotra by a bridge on County Road 200. The island has 3 main village areas: Hummelsund (on the south side),[2] Vikso (on the southwest side), and Tofta (on the west side).

gollark: Redesign what?
gollark: RTGs are a thing, they use them to power space probes, but they use specific fuels and not just random nuclear waste.
gollark: What's the question here?
gollark: That makes sense then.
