    Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed watching it! I have been to the Faroe Islands and I must say that it is one of the most amazing places on Earth! I'm a genuine world trekker, been to over 70 countries, but The Faroes are quite unique! I've spent only 5 days on the islands, but hopefully I'll be back, in summertime, when I'll be able to visit remote islands like Fugloy and Svínoy.

    I did that trip at the end of a wonderful 2-week tour of the northern islands - it was the absolute highlight!!
    Thank you for reminding me of it.

    Swine Island is called that due to swine being kept there in the past. There are currently no swine on the Faroe Islands (not that I'm aware of anyway). Fugloy means Bird Island. You can see the Aurora Borealis there, though not very often due to foggy and overcast weather (even at winter). I've only seen it about 3 times in the 19 years I've lived there (live in Denmark now). However, I'm sure you can see it more often than that if you spend more time outside than I do. :)

    if you think the Faroe Islands might be a disconcerting for a city dweller, you should look at some videos of Svalbard... I am used to North England moorland but even I would find Svalbard bleak.
    The Faroe Islands, however, are top of my list of places I most want to visit. This is the place where they should have filmed Lord of the Rings.

    I am writing a story and I want to use the Faroe Islands as a setting for some of the climactic scenes. From what you tell me, the location and environment are just what I am looking for. My principal character has always had an ambition to follow in the footsteps of St Brendan to find the Paradise Islands and he also longs to witness the majesty of the Aurora. I have seen the lights once from Norway. Fugloy would be ideal for my character to have a similar experience.

      you absolutely can't write about the Faroes without having experienced them - you can't make them up!!

    Beautiful and rugged. There is a sense of peace, it seems to me in living in the Faroes. I am a Dane and have always wanted to travel there. What are the locals feelings about Danes?

  • @guidewell
    @guidewell Před 12 lety

    Beautiful breathtaking vistas and lovely haunting music - this is a place I would love to visit and it is ideal for the location I am looking for to write about in a story. You mention Swine Island but what does Fugloy mean (or did I miss it - I'd be grateful if you could leave your captions up for twice as long)? by the way, can you see the Aurora Borealis from the Faroe Islands?

  • @staling2010
    @staling2010 Před 13 lety

    It's beautiful. The soundtrack and the video. The place looks very remote. How do the Kirkja and Svinoy people survive? It's got a tranquil quality, but also a sense of loneliness. I'm sure its not like that in the summer time. As you can imagine, being a city dweller, this is startling and a bit disconcerting. Ithink you have to be mentally tough to live in that place. Thanks for the upload.

    "slaughtering whales to eat" is not a joke, it gets distributed to people that were involed in the hunt. And we are not a tribe, we are a simple community just trying to get along.

    Sounds great! :) There is one particular photo of the Aurora over Tórshavn (the capital) that I like a lot, but sadly the website doesn't seem to be working anymore. However, if you write Faroe Islands Aurora Borealis in google and look at the picture page, then it should be the first picture you see. :)

      Michael Vestergård ja der er og det er nemt at komme til andre øer mange har tunneller og der er helikopter osse men de små øerne må man finde udaf om der er et sted at overnatte der er kamping pladser og herberg og hoteller men der er kun 800 hotel værelser på færøerne så der var tryk på da der var solformørkelse der var 10,000 turister

    • @Iginihechanska
      @Iginihechanska Před 9 lety +2

      Tak Asbjørn. Ja, det var netop ifb. med formørkelsen jeg havde tænk mig at tage op til øerne, men jeg var for sent ude! 6 Måneder var for tæt på begivenheden, så der var udsolgt. Men til øerne skal jeg nu alligevel på et tidspunkt. Take care.

    Dear Aneri, I guess yes!! But I work for a better planet, try to do my part and I'm very hard on the Brazilians regarding the preservation, consumption and waste disposal ... Do not just try to make a better planet for our children, we need to educate children to respect the planet ... Traditions need to be changed with the passage of time.

    An awesome poem by Paul Watson:
    If You Go Down to The Fjord
    Today If you go down to the beach today,
    You're sure of a big surprise.
    If you go down to the fjord today,
    You'd better go in disguise.
    For every Faroese thug that ever there was
    Will gather there for certain because,
    Today's the day these psychos have their picnic.
    Killing time for Faroese thugs;
    The killers are having a bloody time today.
    Watch us catch them unawares,
    Watch them murder on this sad, sad, day.
    Let us spread the word about.
    How they love to kill, they love to shout,
    They have no heart, thus no cares.
    Excitingly spilling blood into the sea
    Their pants get very wet you see.
    And so they wander off to the pub,
    Because they're perverted little killer thugs.
