Extractions: Faroe Islands The Faroes have a proud cultural heritage, although Faroese was long regarded as a peasant language and the written form was not standardised until the 1890s. Life was hard, and after the chores were done there was not a lot of time left to write novels or paint portraits. The earliest Faroese music would be considered bland by modern standards, but it was designed to accompany the Faroese chain dance and the kv¦°i , a body of late medieval ballads. There are thousands of verses to these ballads and the chain dance requires knowledge of these verses to be properly performed. There were no instruments on the islands, and simple and repetitive melodies were commonly sung in a minor key. Today, traditional dancing is on the school curriculum and also takes place during the winter dancing season and on festive occasions to celebrate the islanders' unique identity. The chain dance was once popular all over Scandinavia, but has survived intact only in the Faroes. During the long and cold winter nights, people occupied themselves by reciting stories and poetry that had been passed down orally for generations. They were finally collected and written down in the 19th century. The first modern Faroese poet, N³lsoyar-Poul Poulson, wrote politically inspired ballads dealing with corruption and the troubled economics of the early 1800s. The best known writer in the short history of Faroese literature is He°in Brº, whose books are very popular in the islands and have gained acceptance abroad as well. J¸rgen-Frantz Jacobsen and William Heinesen are other well-known Faroese authors who wrote in Danish rather than their native language.

Extractions: Faroe - Culture Climate You're unlikely to get a sunburn in the Faroes, where rain occurs on an average of 280 days a year and average temperatures range from 40° F ( 4° C) in January to 52° ( 11° C) in July. When to visit Summer is the best time to visit the Faroes, since the weather is more likely to be pleasant and the islands' small tourist industry doesn't gear up for visitors until May. What to bring A water-resistant jacket or rain parka, sweater, and sturdy shoes are the most vital items in a Faroes travel wardrobe. A tweed hat is more useful than a baseball cap or straw boater, and a folding umbrella is also worth bringing along. Don't worry about mapsyou can buy what you need in Tórshavn. Reaching the Faroes Smyril Line has weekly sailings to Tórshavn from Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and the Shetland Islands. Air service is available from Copenhagen and Billund (Denmark), Reykjavik (Iceland), and Glasgow-Aberdeen (Scotland). See the "Transportation" links in this article for more information. Some guidebooks mention ferries from Scrabster or Aberdeen. Unfortunately, these are no longer in serviceat least, not at the time of this writing.

It appears that about the beginning of the 9th century Grímur Kamban , a Norwegian emigrant who had left his country to escape the tyranny of Harald I of Norway , settled in the islands. Early in the 11th century Sigmund or Sigmundur Brestisson , whose family had flourished in the southern islands but had been almost exterminated by invaders from the northern, was sent from Norway, whither he had escaped, to take possession of the islands for Olaf Tryggvason , king of Norway.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/faroe_islands/environment.htm

Extractions: Faroe Islands Slightly smaller than greater London, the 18 islands of the Faroes lie in the north-eastern Atlantic about 400km (248mi) south-east of Iceland and 280km (174mi) north of Scotland. In the north are a group of rugged, rib-like islands that offer spectacular scenery, but most of the Faroes' population lives on Streymoy and Eysturoy in the heart of the island group. The islands are the eroded remnants of a volcanic mid-Atlantic continent that rose after North America, Greenland and Europe went their separate ways. Other parts of this long-disappeared continent include the Westfjords of Iceland, County Antrim of Northern Ireland, parts of southern Greenland and bits of Scotland. During the Great Ice Age, all of the Faroes were blanketed with ice, and when the icecap finally melted its remnants gouged out the cirques, valleys, sounds and fjords so typical of the islands today. The only place you'll see trees is in T³rshavn, and despite proud claims that the Vi°arlund Park, with its stands of birch, beech and spruce, has the islands' only forest, the trees grow taller in town where the buildings shelter them. The main vegetation growing on the islands is grasses, sedges, mosses, fungi and lichens. More complex plants, such as wildflowers and ferns, tend to grow in people's gardens or in sheltered ravines where the ubiquitous sheep can't reach them. Although the Faroes are home to several introduced pest species such as rats, mice and rabbits, the bird life is what leaves you gobsmacked. The bird population is probably the densest in the world, thanks to the profusion of plankton and fish. Forty-nine species of bird breed regularly on the islands, and another 30 do so from time to time. Among them are puffins, which are netted and eaten in large numbers, guillemots, fulmars, great skuas, razorbills, gannets, cormorants and kittiwakes. Inland, there are great colonies of eider ducks, golden plovers, rock doves and oystercatchers. Two hundred more species visit the islands occasionally. Other land dwellers include sheep (of which there are nearly twice as many as people) and cattle.

Extractions: Faroe Islands Shining like green stones on a grey backcloth, the 18 islands in the Faroes group are undeniably beautiful in a North Atlantic, buffeted-by-gales and tossed-by-sea kind of way. Despite their remote reputation, they aren't that far away if you're in Europe. The seaside cliffs are teeming with birds. The hiking is magnificent and varied, from craggy headlands with wild surf to desolate moorlands, from cascading waterfalls to snowcapped peaks. Most of the most spectacular parts lie within easy reach of the islands' capital, T³rshavn. The ground is daubed with white and yellow when hardy wildflowers bloom for a season, and flocks of sheep scatter maniacally as you pass. Visit in the summer, when the days are long and the weather, while certainly not Hawaii, is passable. After all, a hundred thousand nesting birds can't be wrong.
