Kirkenes

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Kirkenes

Village in Finnmark, northern Norway, near the border with the Russian Federation, on the shore of Varanger Fjord. Kirkenes is a port for the shipment of iron ore from the nearby Syd-Varanger mines, the largest mines in Norway.

It was the main German base for submarines launching attacks on Allied convoys to Murmansk in World War II. Although practically destroyed during the war, Kirkenes was rebuilt.
