Utsira kommune's air quality benefits from its extraordinary position as Norway's smallest municipality on the remote North Sea island of Utsira, with consistent and often extremely powerful North Sea westerly winds providing among Norway's most outstanding natural ventilation. Minimal vehicle traffic and negligible local sources contribute virtually no impact, while the extraordinary exposed island position generally maintains among Norway's finest air quality throughout most of the year.
