Sunda kommuna is an amalgamated-municipality stretching across vast areas of the two large Faroese islands Streymoy and Eysturoy. Sunda kommuna is formed by the former municipalities of Hósvíkar kommuna, Hvalvíkar kommuna, Saksunar kommuna, Haldarsvíkar kommuna, (former) Sunda kommuna and Gjáar kommuna. It now contains the following villages: *Hósvík *Norðskáli *Hvalvík *Streymnes *Haldórsvík *Oyri *Oyrarbakki *Tjørnuvík *Gjógv *Langasandur *Saksun *Nesvík Originally Sunda kommuna was a loose cooperation between the small municipalities, but since 2005 these municipalities agreed to amalgamate. Altogether Sunda kommuna accounts for 1,655 inhabitants, and the population is steadily increasing. The increase is mainly due to the highway that runs right through the municipality connecting the north-eastern Faroes with the western and southern parts of the Faroes. This highway - currently one of the main-arteries of the Faroes - also features a bridge across the sound that divides Eysturoy and Streymoy, thus creating a region centred on the bridge. The major is Kim Durhuus from Hósvík, who in 2009 replaced Heðin Zachariasen. == Photos == Image:Cleft of Gjógv, Faroe Islands.JPG|The boat harbour in the gorge of Gjógv, north Eysturoy.
