The Faroe Islands: a self-governing gem in the North Atlantic Ocean

The Faroe Islands, a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, are situated in the North Atlantic between Norway, Scotland and Iceland and consist of 18 volcanic islands covering an area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers. The capital, Tórshavn, is the political and economic center of the islands. The official languages are Faroese and Danish, and the culture is a blend of Nordic traditions and unique islander characteristics, with traditional weaving, choral music (such as the Faroese Choir) and the Ólavsøka festival in the summer. The economy is centered on fishing, with salmon farming and exporting the mainstay of the industry, while tourism has been on the rise in recent years due to the magnificent fjords, pristine nature and unique folklore. As a strategic location for NATO member countries, the Faroe Islands enjoy a high degree of autonomy, but foreign affairs and defense are the responsibility of Denmark, making it a pristine and modern island destination in the North Atlantic.
