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. |
