Faroe Islands

Faroe Islands · North Atlantic

The Faroe Islands sit in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Norway, a volcanic archipelago of dramatic underwater cliffs, sea caves, and rich cold water marine life including grey seals, wolffish, and dense populations of nudibranchs. Powerful Atlantic currents fuel exceptional biodiversity in these remote, rarely dived waters.
