The Faroe Islands

Dramatic Faroe Island landscapes. Steep cliffs, deep fjords, and rolling hills. The Islands are characterized by rugged, volcanic terrain. Originally shaped by glaciers and volcanic activity. The Islands feature dramatic cliffs along a coastline that stretches for 1,100 kilometers. 

The Faroes are a heaven for landscape photograpers and hikers seeking epic vistas and the weather to macth the drama of the landscape. They are located at a latitude close to the Arctic Circle, resulting in long summer twilights and short winter days. 

Here a perhaps more artistic approach to portraying the dramtic landscape was taken.
