🏝️ Bømlo (island)

Bømlo is an island in Vestland county, Norway. At 171 square kilometres (66 sq mi), it is the largest island in Bømlo Municipality, lying just off the western coast of Norway. The island sits at the northern entrance to the vast Hardangerfjorden, west of the Stokksund strait, south of the Selbjørnsfjorden, and east of the North Sea. In the 1800s, the Kulleseid Canal was built across a small isthmus in the central part of the island, giving a shortcut from the eastern side of the island to the western side of the island.
