Introduction to Skú Island, Faroe Islands
Skúvoy is a picturesque island in the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic, located in the southern part of the archipelago and covering an area of about 10 square kilometers. The island is known for its rich bird ecology, especially for its puffin and guillemot habitats. The only village on the island, Skou, retains its traditional Faroese architecture and tranquil fishing village atmosphere.
Natural and Human Characteristics
Skou is a rugged island with a coastline dotted with cliffs, the highest point of which is 392 meters above sea level. The island is home to an Important Bird Sanctuary and is a paradise for birdwatchers. The history of the island dates back to the Viking Age, and the legend of the medieval hero Sku is related to this place. The inhabitants make their living from fishing, and with a population of less than a hundred, they maintain a simple community culture.
Tourism and Transportation
