This remote country between Iceland and Norway is a dream of every keen traveler. Let's find out more about the life on the amazing Faroe Islands.
3 miles (5 kilometers) is the farthest distance from the ocean, wherever on the islands you are.
The nature of the islands is characterized by the lack of trees, that’s why the only trees found there have been imported from Alaska and Tierra del Fuego.
The islands are well-known as the land of fish. Fish products account for more than 95% of the islands’ export volume
Want to take a step from your job, everyday duties and… traffic lights? This is a perfect place for you. There are only 3 traffic lights on the Faroe Islands, and all of them are located close to each other.
All the public buses in Torshavn, the capital of the country, are free!
There are 0 prisoners on the Faroe Islands! All the convicted criminals serve their sentences in Denmark.
Approximately 50 thousand people live on the Faroe Islands, but they represent more than 70 nationalities! The national language of the country is Faroese.

It looks so calm and beautiful. But cold. Too cold for these 76 year old bones. 🥶🥶

They regularly slaughter dolphins and whales by the hundreds!
Please boycott the Faroe Islands and all their products until they stop this senseless slaughter!
Please check out Sea Shepard web pages for details.

My kind of place. Maybe I should console myself with a miniature version and have Faroes at the bottom of my garden!
Peter Johansen
No doubt a beautiful place if you can stomach the annual slaughter of dolphins

Yes we went on a cruise that was supposed to watch the eclipse of the sun a few years ago. Unfortunately when we arrived the sun was covered with clouds so the captain took the ship out to sea and found a good spot. Felt sorry for the thousands of people that had arrived on the island to see the eclipse.

I found it a very upsetting place, they eat everything,puffins,seals,dolphins.The guide we had was so proud to talk about killing this and killing that.It was his only conversation

Wish it had loaded onto my screen.. This is becoming a habit with quiz, no pictures..!! Not always, but enough to be a darned annoyance.!
Carol Wyatt
But the downside is the annual 'rite of passage' by slaughtering marine wild-life - wouldn't encourage that !!

Julie Allen, Pity we can't send ours to Denmark as well.That's got to be a plus. I am surprised to see there are 70 different nationalities there.Obviously they are not sheltered like Iceland?
