The highest point on the island is the 81-metre (266 ft) tall Kråkeberget. The new Ryfast Tunnel is being constructed under the fjord that surrounds the island, and the tunnel itself will run under the southern part of the island. Due to the length of the tunnel, a large ventilation shaft will be constructed from the tunnel up to the island to provide fresh air inside the tunnel.
