| Page Views: 41 Last Visit to Faroe Islands: September, 2006 I Work Here | Spent a 'summer' working in and near the Færoes- by jumanji - last update: Nov 22, 2007 |
Half way between the Shetlands and Iceland Interesting sea (diving)and birdlife round these 21 islands.
The Minke whale round-up in late August may not be to everyone's taste...but the dietary alternatives were so limited until the advent and luxury of 'carbon based logistics' that I for one would not cast blame. Landform also 'special.
Be prepared for extended summer 'fog'...I witnessed groups of German and Swedish tourists who had come for an Eco- week and expected to return to their desks on Monday spend an increasingly agitated Saturday and Sunday waiting for the fog to lift as the airport at Vaaga (30+km from Torshavn) was closed for a few days...and the local 'wait and see what the weather will permit' attitude was way outside their ken.... |
