Romsdalshalvøya, sometimes translated as the Romsdal Peninsula, is a 1,560-square-kilometre (600 sq mi) peninsula located in the Romsdal district of Møre og Romsdal county in Norway. The peninsula encompasses parts of Molde Municipality, Gjemnes Municipality, and Hustadvika Municipality.[1]
The peninsula is connected to the mainland by a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) wide isthmus between the villages of Eidsvåg and Eidsøra in Molde Municipality. The peninsula is flanked by a number of fjords: Langfjorden and Romsdalsfjorden to the south, Julsund (to the west), Hustadvika to the north, Kornstadfjorden and Kvernesfjorden to the north-east, and Tingvollfjorden and Sunndalsfjorden to the east.
About 42,000 people live on the peninsula, with another 5,000 on the adjacent islands.
