Lofoten Islands
Adventure through Lofoten Islands, Norway.
Lofoten is located at the 68th and 69th parallels north of the Arctic Circle in North Norway. It is well known for its natural beauty and wilderness. The total land area amounts to 1,227 km², and the population totals 24,500. Between the mainland and the Lofoten archipelago lies the vast, open Vestfjorden, and to the north is Vesterålen. The principal towns in Lofoten are Leknes in Vestvågøy and Svolvær in Vågan. The Lofoten Islands are characterised by their mountains and peaks, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin areas.

Streymoy / Streams
A stunning exploration of the island of Streymoy, Faroe Islands.
Streymoy, the Island of the Currents, is the largest and most populated island of the Faroe Islands. The capital, Tórshavn is located there.
The island has an long shape and stretches roughly in northwest-southeast. There are two deeply indented fjords in the southeast: Kollafjordur and Kaldbaksfjordur. The island is mountainous, especially in the northwest, with the highest peak Kopsenni (789 metres). This area is dominated by over 500-metre high cliffs, known as Vestmannabjørgini, the Cliffs of Vestmanna.
Streymoy is separated from the nearby Eysturoy, second largest island of the Faroe Islands, by the narrow sound of Sundini in the east. To the west lies the island of
Vágar, and to the south the island of Sandoy. Three additional smaller islands are situated around the southern tip of Streymoy: Koltur, Hestur and Nólsoy.

Vagar / Idyllium
Around the beautiful Vágar island, Faroe Islands.
Vágar is the third largest island of the Faroes (after Streymoy and Eysturoy). The island shape is very distinct since it resembles a dog’s head: Sørvágsfjørður is the mouth and the Fjallavatn lake is the eye.
The terrain is less dramatic than that of Streymoy and the northern islands: green valleys, patches of cultivated land around the villages that are clustered on the south coast and dozens of small rivers and streams flowing down the rounded hills. Vágar has vast expanses of untouched wilderness expecially the uninhabited north of the island. The only main road comes from Streymoy through a tunnel and conducts to the main villages. From Sørvágur the view become breathtakingly beautiful with the ocean, the island of Tindhólmur with its peaks and verticality, Gáshólmur and the two drangar (freestanding sea stacks), until the last village, Gásadalur, and the panorama over the mysterious Mykines that is the westernmost of the 18 main islands of the Faroe Archipelago.
The island is the location of the Faroes’ only airport so it’s the first to be seen by the visitors that come from the air. If the weather permits are clearly visible the dramatic vertical cliffs that form the southern edge of the island.

Where all the storm come from
The wonderful Faroe Islands.
Faroe Islands are rugged and rocky, the coasts are mostly cliffs. Spectacular dramatic sea cliffs are a common element of the coast, with some of the highest in the world. An other common element is water. Rivers and streams are continuously fed by frequent rains caused by an instable climate originated from the position of the archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in the path of depressions moving north-east. Stunning waterfalls can be found everywhere on the islands creating a suggestive, fashinating and wild landscape.
