==Geography==
[[File:Dueknipen.jpg|thumb|Dueknipen, Kristiansand]]
Kristiansand is strategically located on the [[Skagerrak]], and until the opening of the [[Kiel Canal]] between the [[North Sea]] and the [[Baltic Sea|Baltic]] was very important militarily and geopolitically. This meant that for centuries it served as a military stronghold, first as [[Harald Fairhair]]'s royal residence, then as a Danish-Norwegian fortress, and later as a garrison town. Kristiansand is a gateway to and from the continent, with ferry service to Denmark and a terminus of the railway line along the southern edge of South Norway. Geologically, this part of Agder is part of the Swedo-Norwegian Base Mountain Shield, the southwestern section of the [[Baltic Shield]], and consists of two main geological formations of [[Proterozoic]] rocks that were formed in the Gothic and later Swedo-Norwegian [[orogeny|orogenies]], with significant [[metamorphism]] during the latter.<ref>Ivar B. Ramberg ''et al''., ''Landet blir til – Norges geologi'', Norsk geologisk forening 2006 (2007), p. 71</ref> There is a substrate of 1,600&ndash;1,450 million-year-old [[slate]], [[quartzite]], [[marble]] and [[amphibolite]] with some [[hornblende]] [[gneiss]], and overlaid on this acidic surface structures of both [[granite]] and [[granodiorite]] (in general 1,250&ndash;1,000 million years old, in some places 1,550&ndash;1,480 million years old). The ''Bamblefelt'' geological area starts to the east of the municipality and extends to [[Grenland]].

The last Swedo-Norwegian formations are evident in large formations of granite. There are also incidences of [[gabbro]] and [[diorite]], less commonly [[eclogite]]. The [[Caledonian orogeny]] did not affect this area. Faults run southwest–northeast.<ref>[http://www.ngu.no/kart/bg250/ Berggrunnskart over Norge] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150118033550/http://www.ngu.no/kart/bg250/ |date=18 January 2015 }}, [[Norwegian Geological Survey]], 2006 {{in lang|no}}</ref> In ancient times there was a volcano off [[Flekkeroy]], which left deposits of volcanic rock just north of central Kristiansand, on the site of the estate of {{Not a typo|E|g}}, now occupied by the [[Hospital of Southern Norway]].

Near the city, there are deep woods. In [[Baneheia]] and at the former [[coastal artillery]] fortress on [[Odderøya]], there are lighted ski trails and walking paths specially prepared for [[wheelchair]] users. People go swimming in [[Baneheia]] in the summer as well

Two major rivers, the [[Otra]] and the [[Tovdalselva]], flow into the Skagerrak at Kristiansand.

===Climate===
[[File:Sjølyst, Kristiansand, Vest-Agder, Norway - panoramio.jpg|thumb|[[Fiskebrygga, Kristiansand|Fiskebrygga]]]]
Kristiansand has a temperate oceanic climate ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfb''). The coastal parts of the [[Skagerrak]] coast, which includes Kristiansand, is the sunniest part of Norway. Snow generally occurs in late December and in January and February; it may be heavy (the snow record at [[Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik|Kjevik airport]] is {{convert|170|cm|in}}) but rarely stays long on the coast; see [[Climate of Norway]]. Due to warming in the more recent decades, snow often melts after a few days.
In the summer most locals go to the [[Fiskebrygga, Kristiansand|Fiskebrygga]], the archipelago opposite the city, and Hamresanden Beach, which is located about 10 minutes from the city centre near Kjevik airport. People from Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the UK and other European countries also visit this beach in the summer during their travels.

The all-time high {{convert|32.6|C|1}} at Kristiansand airport was recorded August 1975. The all-time low at the airport {{convert|-28.2|C|1}} was recorded January 1982. The temperature seldom reaches {{convert|30|C|F|0}}, but most days in July reaches {{convert|21|C|F|0}} or more. The warmest month ever was July 1901 with mean {{convert|21.6|C|F|0}} at an earlier weather station (''Kristiansand S - Eg''). The warmest month at the airport was July 2018 with 24-hr average {{convert|19.9|C|F|0}} and average daily high {{convert|25.8|C|F|0}}. July 2018 was also the sunniest month on record with 422 sunhours, and the year 2018 recorded 2126 sunhours - despite December recording just 1 sunhr as cloudiest month on record in Kristiansand. The cloudiest July recorded 156 sunhours (2007). Kristiansand has the national record for the sunniest February (153 sunhrs in 1986), sunniest April (323 hrs in 2021), sunniest August (343 hrs in 1995) and sunniest September (241 hrs in 1959).
The wettest month on record was October 1976 with 560&nbsp;mm precipitation, and the driest was April 1974 with no precipitation at all.

Kvadraturen is the city center of Kristiansand. The area belonged to the farms {{Not a typo|E|g}} and Grim, and was a sandy plain covered with forest, and was called Sanden or Grimsmoen. Settlements were before the city was founded focused on loading and dumps at Lund, along Otra or Torridalselven and along Topdalsfjorden by [[Odderøya]] and [[Flekkeroy]] port. 
[[Christian IV]]'s town plan outlined the city center with 56 rectangular squares with five long blocks and eight cross streets. It was the squares along the Otra and east and west harbor, which was built first. 
Today Kvadraturen is a part of Kvadraturen/{{Not a typo|E|g}}, which has (as of 1 January 2005) 5510 inhabitants. The area [[Posebyen]] in Kvadraturen is Northern Europe's longest continuous wooden buildings. 
In the parts are among others [[Kristiansand Cathedral]], [[Kristiansand City Hall]], Wergeland Park, and the terminal for ferries to [[Hirtshals]] and [[Kristiansand Station]] is located in the parts western corner.

[[File:Kristiansand.png|thumb|right|Streets of Lund during the night.]]
Lund is the second largest borough in Kristiansand with a population of 9,000 inhabitants in 2012. 14 June 1921 was the first 2.75&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> of Lund transferred to Kristiansand and 1 January 1965 was also the rest of Lund part of Kristiansand in the municipal amalgamation. In Lund, there are traces of humans dating back to the early [[Iron Age]], the [[Viking Age]] until the early [[Middle Ages]] various locations. There has been a settlement here since the [[Stone Age]]. During the Viking Age there was a great man's farm here. A Runestone at [[Oddernes Church|Oddernes church]] provides a connection to this farm. A large field with burial mounds formerly existed south and west of the church, and may also be associated with this farm. In 1492 robbers from the sea came and attacked Lund. This is mentioned in two letters located in the [[National Archives]]. The letters describe the attack that took place with a lot of violence against both women and men and that on both sides suffered casualties. No one know who the robbers were, but their centurion was named Per Syvertsen. The name suggests that he and his crew came from [[Norway]] or [[Denmark]].

Indre and Ytre [[Randesund]] is located between Kvåsefjorden in Høvåg and the Topdalsfjord in Oddernes. Several small islands are situated alongside the cost of Randesund, among them Randøya and Herøya, both popular with summer tourists. The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the island, Randøen (now known as Randøya). The first part of the name is rand (Old Norse: rǫnd) which means "boundary" or "edge" and the last part of the name is sund which means "strait". The name was previously spelled Randøsund.

[[Tveit]] is a village and a former municipality in [[Vest-Agder]] county. It is located in the present-day municipality of Kristiansand. Tveit is home to [[Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik]]. Tveit is located along the lower part of the [[Tovdalselva]] river, known as Topdalselva from the border with [[Aust-Agder]]. The population of Tveit is approximately 2,900 (2014).[[File:Grim-20.jpg|thumb|[[Tinnheia]] is a part in the [[Grim, Kristiansand|Grim]] borough]] [[File:Kjøita ved Nedre Lund.jpg|thumb|Nedre Lund]]
