Just some pictures and a small movie made from my phone. The Faroe Islands is very nice place and my birthplace. I speak danish in the movie. The faroese speak faroese, danish, sweedish, norwegian and english. Some understand and speak other languages as well e.g. icelandic, german, french, spanish...etc

Risin og Kellingin (Risin and Kellingin) are two sea stacks just off the northern coast of the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands close to the town of Eiði. The name Risin og Kellingin means The Giant and the Witch (or Hag) and relates to an old legend about their origins. The Giant (Risin) is the 71m stack further from the coast, and the witch (Kellingin) is the 68m pointed stack nearer land, standing with her legs apar

There are more sheeps than people on the Faroe Islands. About 70.000 vs 50.000 people. If you travel you must taste skerpikjøt on bread with salt. Its dried meat from the sheep.

Filmed at Saksun. Sry about the wind and noise.

You can travel too the Faroe Islands by plane with Atlantic Airways or SAS or by sea with Norrøna. Come and visit us :)
