A place seemingly forgotten by time

The Faroe Islands are a group of islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Faroe Islands consist of 18 islands, covering an area of approximately 1,399 square kilometers, with a population of about 50,000. The islands are located between Norway and Iceland, near the Arctic Circle, with a cold and humid climate, distinct seasons, warm summers, and cold, snowy winters. The Faroe Islands have a long history, first settled by Norwegians and Celts. In the 9th century, Norwegians began to control the islands, which later became part of Denmark. Although the Faroe Islands enjoy a high degree of autonomy, with their own parliament and government, they are still represented by Denmark in international affairs. The economy of the islands mainly relies on fishing, especially the catching and processing of fish products. In addition, tourism is gradually developing. The islands' natural landscapes are magnificent, with mountains, cliffs, fjords, and meadows interwoven into a unique scenery, attracting many tourists to explore and sightsee. The official language of the Faroe Islands is Faroese, but Danish is also widely used. Although the region's culture is influenced by Denmark, the Faroese people still maintain their unique cultural traditions and customs.
