Encyclopedia : K : KU : KUN : Kunoy
Kunoy is an island located in the north-east of the Faroe Islands between Kalsoy and Borðoy (to which it is linked via a causeway). There are two settlements on Kunoy: Kunoy, on the west coast and Haraldssund on the south-east coast. A third settlements, Skarð, was the site of a fishing accident on Christmas Eve, 1913 which killed seven men (all the male population except a 14 year old and a 70 year old). The women decided to move to Haraldssund, and the area is now deserted.
The island also has five mountains: Havnartindur (820 m), Middagsfjall (806 m), Kunoyarnakkur (820 m), Ranndalur (703 m) and Urðafjall (817 m).
