"Situated in the heart of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic at 62°00’N, the Faroe Islands lie northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The archipelago is composed of 18 islands covering 545.3 sq.miles and is 70 miles long and47 miles wide, roughly in the shape of an arrowhead. There are 687 miles of coastline and at no time is one more than 3 miles away from the ocean. The highest mountain is 2883 ft above sea level. The weather is maritime and quite changeable, from (infrequent!) moments of brilliant sunshine to (more usual) misty hill fog, to showers. The population is 48,308 (1st February 2014). Almost 20.000 people live in the metropolitan area which comprises Tórshavn, and about 4,600 in Klaksvík, the second largest town in the Faroe Islands. Since 1948, the Faroe Islands have been a self governing region of the Kingdom of Denmark. It has its own parliament and its own flag. It is not, however, a member of the European Union and all trade is governed by special treaties. Faroese is the national language and is rooted in Old Norse. Nordic languages are readily understood by most Faroese, and English is also widely spoken, especially among the younger people." [Faroe Islands Tourist Board]
These photos were taken during a 10 day self-drive tour of the islands with flight from Edinburgh, car rental and accommodations arranged through Magnetic North Travel.
