Coast heads high into the wild Atlantic to the majestic Faroe Islands, where Neil Oliver discovers how romance blossomed for British soldiers and Faroese women during the Second World War's 'Operation Valentine'.
I have been to the Faroes few weeks ago. I could not believe my eyes when I was there. It is unbelieveably beautiful!
How much did it cost to get a plane ride.
What spectacular views the Faroe Islands have to offer. I would recommend any one to take a trip and visit the different islands.
I love thos Islands .. my home
Iceland and the Faroe Islands were settled by Vikings that came from the Scandinavian countries (especially Norway, and the other countries in Scandinavia are Norway, Sweden and Denmark). All these countries at that time spoke the same language. But since these languages have gotten influenced much from outside countries and the language has changes. The Danish language the most, the Icelandic and Faroese languages the least, and thereby closer to the Viking language then the rest.
YOUR ISLANDS ARE BEAUTIFUL MOST NEGATIVE COMMENTS COME SHEER IGNORANCE.
Wow - what a wonderful video.
Stunning..!
beautiful! like New Zealand.
I landed on St. Thomas in the mid 60's and that runway, minus the snow, was just like this one.. scariest one I ever landed on...
Cool i think?
I really want to go there
What is the background music around 1:00? - very evocative.
The Faroe Islands look absolutely spectacular. Most see on our families' itinerary.
Que hermoso paisaje para ir a pasear
Now i'm proud to be faroese :)
Fantastic video tour of a place I knew NOTHING about, and now want to visit in the worst way.
BTW, what is the name of the terrific music that starts at 0:23?
How much does it cost to get a plane ride there?
Thank you.
Very interesting.
@2spoonsmaloy I think Atlantic airways are planning to open the London - Vagar route again.
Nice place
ikr they speak faroese
@Jangle2007 That is the island rock named "Tindholmur".
Nice vid ,thanks
is the faroe mainland uk? how long does it take on ferry from orkney?
i really wish it was easier to get here. ive been trying to visit for a while, but cant find any direct flights from the u.k until the summer.
@clayguy1 That is in Virgin Islands, right?
@fhurvhur I was not referring to the whale killing in it's self. I was referring to "They kill whales for money" and the general ignorant beliefs that we only do it for sport/fun/tradition/welcome our youth into manhood and so forth.
People just have a habit to state there opinion/beliefs/what they read "somewhere"(usually just others opinions and misguided interpretation of what really happens in a whale hunt) as facts!
I respect that you have your own opinion, that I would never deny anyone.
Thanks for the response. It was driving me nuts trying to place the language. I assumed it was a combination of a Scandinavian language and Brythonic...
5:56 - What language are they speaking?
@bkhp81 Sorry to say it, btw I'm faroese.
It is not illegal to sell whale meat if you have more than you can use yourself. The illegal part is at the killing itself, everyone is entiteled to their share of meat and it is illegal to demand money for it at that point, but if you live in another part of the country, you are fully allowed to buy from someone who has enough himself.
It is sad that you helped the allies. But how could you know what they fought for! I hope that your country will escape the destruction we now face in Europe because the Faroe Islands is a very beautiful place.
I'm half faroese. Faroe Islands FTW
Yep.. I was stationed in Puerto Rico for two years and a member of the bases flying club took me along in his Cessna to Saint Thomas.. amazing place..
Would love to know what is the highest ever recorded temperature there in my own country we get our fair share of wet windy weather but my God they get it in spades !
perature
Annual mean temperature in Tórshavn is 6.5°C. Temperatures in January and February are approx. 3.5°C. In July and August approx. 10.5°C. Annual mean temperature varies from place to place and is lowest near Vága Floghavn (6.0°C) and highest in Sandur on the island of Sandoy (7.0°C).
Although variations in temperature are generally small from year to year, temperatures occasionally rise above 20°C. Highest temperature ever measured was 26.3°C at Vága Floghavn in July 2003. In winter, temperatures may fall below freezing point. The lowest temperature ever measured was -12.3°C in March 2001 - also at Vága Floghavn.
Temperatures in Tórshavn are higher today than they were in 1873. This increase primarily took place during 1920-1940 and yet again since the 1980’s.
@Maryjoends this video is not about whaling... -_-
Simply amazing beauty
Maybe the Island but not the disgusting people that live there. Fucking disgusting whale killers.
I Raven youer country support halal butchering and its millions of annimals ther gedt a werry slow deat
I Raven Main article: Whaling in the United States:"In the United States, whaling is carried out by nine different indigenous Alaskan communities. The whaling program is managed by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission which reports to theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The hunt takes around 50 bowhead whales a year from a population of about 10,500 in Alaskan waters"This article contains a list of all countries that participate in whaling including:United States (Alaska) (50 a year on average), Faroe Islands (about 950 yearly), Greenland (about 175 yearly), Iceland (about 60 a year), Indonesia, Norway (about 500 yearly), Russia (about 140 gray whales yearly; "Currently Russians in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in the Russian Far East are permitted under IWC regulation to take up to 140 gray whales from the North-East Pacific population each year".); St. Vincent and the Grenadies (four humpback whales yearly).So what say you about this Sea Shepard??? are you halal butchering with sea shepperd in youer country nederland soon named muslimland
Your country murder 950 whales yearly.
Where is japan???? They don't murder whales?

@danny7075
omg ur actually from there! :D awesome.
Come to the Faroe island and lets PARTY
COAST, NEIL OLIVER
@Pedro Gomes da Silva Billions? Dont rage to much ?
So caging animals their whole life until slaughter is perfectly alright, but letting an animal live free until capture and slaughter is barbaric? That does not make any sense to me.
Ur right we let all of our animals be free not caged until death
@fortheloveoftunes no, its our Airport place xD
@jon3m2007 quite booring
240p, so we meet again
@bkhp81
Thanks for understanding, but situation is so terrible, the nature is simply dying, this is a self-destruction, I think it's time to change habits, traditions..
perfect Scotiish accent pal, Glasgow perhaps
1:30 Drag-racing track?! .-)
it sure does look like lord of the rings :)
here eivør pállsdóttir from faroe islands sing the lord of the rings czcams.com/video/-4llV30zL1Y/video.html
I'll be there with sea shepherd this summer.
5 years ago... i hope u were in some group that got jailed
😮😊🎉😂
did he say "middle earth?" LOL
@tasteegold777 I love your slaughterhouses btw...
seriously?
The people on the Faroe Islands speak faroese.
Its linked to the old Nordic language that the vikings spoke. Today its nearest language cousin is the Icelandic language.
Scottish accent FTW
Haha..you country is anything but respected
@tasteegold777 didn't you once say, that 95% of the world hates us? if so I must have heard wrong...
and when are you civil? you are walking around like you own the world, talking bad about a country and saying things you don't even know properly. and beside, by saying such things, on a video that is just related to the country but about the subject the video is about, the only thing you are accomplishing is provocation.
so you must love getting into arguments.
I understand that you care about the animals, so do we, which is why we continue to develop methods of killing them as fast as possible to avoid suffering.
And well, name me one food group that isn't toxic these days? Even organic fruit gets all kind of crap dumped on it from above, just not the same amount as sea food does.
And people are taking the health warning to heart, cutting down on the amount beint eaten and in some cases even stopping.
Care about animals LOL say that to the caged pigs
then you dont know how animals are raised and slaughtered today.
@Maryjoends the name of our country actually means "sheep". faroe islands is the old name for "sheep islands". how the hell do you know how our country smells like? our country smells like grass, but if you are close to sheep, it smells like shit...
and I am afraid that that "everybody" you talk about doesn't exist... because unfortunately, not many know we exist...
no offence, but my ears hurt every time he said "faroe"... 0.0
actually I think the reality is completely distorted, the people there seemed to be very civilized, rather than try to show, and whaling is so "fair" as pigs, cattle, birds that are killed daily in the world ... it is possible to say that are wrong in hunting or fishing whales for their own sustenance while the world kills animals with the same intention? can not judge, and I think that Watson should review your goals when a civilized people like the Danish practice its fight against hungry.
@fhurvhur
Stop with the propaganda bullsh**.
Still can't believe that people actually believe these kind of ignorant claims!
I recommend that people do there own research and come to there own conclusions and stop believing everything they read/hear.
Be proactive in strengthening your own intelligence and do some homework.
P. S. It's illegal to "earn" money by selling whale meat in the Faroe Islands.
Your conclusion above: Killing any animal for money, Is a disgrace to humanity... Okey then!
faore island is part of the kingdom of denmark
I am one of the billions of people that I am against the massacre that made the Faeroes
Pedro Gomes da Silva Billions? You must not be all that bright. Idiotic and narcissistic.
You are seriously disturbing, sir.
well Faroes is for sure great land!!!! The people are very well educated for example in the middle east and they do stand for Israel much more than Iceland!!!! Also to chat to faroes is different, they like to listen,they like to talk without showing they know all best like the people in bigger Iceland.
Only what I do not like is the whale massacre, it is really so bad and stupid, I can not stand photos where people are laughing over killing them!!!!!
the faroe islands are a piece of heaven...
the bad thing there is that...they kill whales...:(
Oh i think it's a bad thing you kill pigs D:
