    History and Geography
    Short Notes on History
    The population derives mainly from West-Norwegian farmers who settled here in the 9th century. It has been suggested that the Faroes were populated by Irish monks or hermits before this, but there is no archaeological evidence to support this view.
    Christianity was adopted in AD. 999. In 1035 the Faroe Islands were incorporated into the Kingdom of Norway.
    Together with Norway the Faroe Islands passed under the Danish Crown in 1380 and remained in the Kingdom of Denmark, even after 1814 when Norway came under Swedish rule.
    1856 the Danish trade monopoly was abolished and the Faroe Islands gained the right to trade freely on their own. As a consequence a considerable fleet of fishing vessels was established. Fishing has ever since been the main industry and source of income.
    In the latter part of the 19th century, a national movement gained ground. The first political parties were established in 1906.
    In 1940 the Faroe Islands were occupied by British forces and thus separated from German occupied Denmark. The Faroese ensign , the MERKIÐ was approved by British Government decree in 1940.

  • Geography
    The Faroe Islands are formed from volcanic rock and the landscape mainly consists of cultivated grass. Apart from 3.5 million birds, the most popular one being the puffin, the Faroes share their green islands with 80,000 sheep, which graze on the Faroese mountainsides. Føroya actually means "land of the sheep" and the Faroese sheep are free-range animals in the true sense of the word. In places difficult to access they are only in touch with humans twice in their lifetime: when they are let loose as lambs and when they are herded together as fully-grown animals. An old Faroese saying has it that the sheep are a wandering barometer. They come down from the mountains to the sea when cool weather is coming, and they return to the mountains when warmer weather is on the way. The climate in the Faroe Islands is distinctly oceanic, with predominately cool summers and mild winters when the Gulf Stream keeps the waters ice-free. In autumn and especially winter there is plenty of rain and strong winds, leading to several hurricanes in the 1990s. Boat in front of church History and Politics
    Vikings, who may have driven away an earlier colony of Irish monks, settled the Faroe Islands in the early ninth century. In the eleventh century the Faroes became a Norwegian fiefdom and Christianity was introduced. Denmark and Norway were united in 1380, and the Faroes came under Danish rule. When Denmark and Norway parted in 1824, the Faroes remained part of the kingdom of Denmark.

    Birds of The Faroes
    Curlew Oystercatcher Snipe
    Faroese stamps featuring Gannet, Puffin and Bridled Guillemot. The bird population of the Faroes is probably the densest of the world. This is due to the amount of plankton available, thereby increasing the amount of fish and other marine life. There are 49 species which breed regularly and up to 30 occasional breeders. Common breeding seabirds include Puffin, Razorbill, Guillemot, Fulmar, Great Skua, Gannets, Cormorants and Kittiwake. Inland can be found Eider Ducks, Golden Plover, Snipe, Curlew as well as the Faroese national bird the Oystercatcher or Tjaldur
    Sealife of The Faroes
    The seas around the Faroes teem with marine life. Cetaceans are common, large schools of Pilot Whales occur as well as Bottlenose,Fin and Killer whales, Dolphins and Porpoises. The only seal that occurs is the Grey Seal. The fish comprise Halibut, Sand Eel, Redfish, Haddock, Lemon Sole, Blue Whiting, Lobster and Scallops. A small number of cod are also present.
