As a low land Dane I have traveled to Scotland, Norway and the Faroe Islands, but to me the Faroe Islands were the most dramatic. You filmed the peaceful serene beauty of the place (drones are flimsy easily destroyed things). During storms however the islands offers little protection from the full force of the weather. You are simply trapped there. In Norway and Scotland you feel that there is solid land to escape to, but on these windblown marvels there is ice cold water all the way around. The isolation here I did not feel in the other countries. The duality of nature I have never stronger experienced any where else in the 20 countries I have visited so far. There is an abundance of majestic beauty, but also always the threat of imminent danger.
Perfectly put. We got incredibly lucky with the weather. I'd love to see and experience it with the winds up and the seas choppy - but am very grateful it wasn't the case on this past trip. Driving around you quickly feel just how small and intimate the islands are and it does feel a bit like a small ship cast adrift in the wider ocean.
Alex Berger Sometimes reading about a special place or watching David Attenborough softly whispering about in on the Discovery Channel is not enough. I knew there where bird cliffs on the Faroe Islands, but it was not until I got close enough to the real thing I understood how unbelievable loud those nesting birds can be, (or how much guano they can make) During a hiking trip to Norway I had read about lemmings and forgot about the little rodents until the first night I slept in an open shelter. Those infernal mouse creatures kept finding ways to get into the sleeping bag and you had to be very careful when walking on supposedly solid grass. The rodents could undermine entire valleys to ankle breaking dangers. The trip to Scotland was particularly interesting as the midgets that year were particularly aggressive. I learned why Scottish tourist brochures never mention those in the advertising. Scotland does not need an army. They can just breed those pests and let them lose on invading enemies.
With all the Nordic inspired movies that are made these days (Vikings, GOT etc.) , one can wonder why Færøerne isn't used as a film set more often, if any at all.
It does look beautiful in the video, but it is a fluke. Average temperature is 6.5 degrees Celcius with maybe 300 days a year giving some kind of wet falling from the skies. 4 meters of rain in some places. That is 5 times the rain hitting Germany attached Denmark www.dmi.dk/en/climate/climate-changes-over-time/the-faroe-islands/ Is very different from www.dmi.dk/en/climate/climate-changes-over-time/denmark/precipitation-and-sun/ No sun, cold, wet and windy makes for difficult movie sets.
I am born in Denmark but have family desending 10 generations in the Faro Island i used to go there for a month each year as a child. It's my favorite place in the World.
Marvellous views of wild that i haven't seen yet in my whole life! And is it you narrating it? If so... you got great voice for narration stuffs like that. At last i could say it was a great job of you! So well done and good luck! I would like to experience such views once i got the chance.
Absolutely stunning footage mate! Beautifully done, I had goosebumps the whole video! Perfect music as well! What an ethereal place! I just wish they didn't kill the magestic Pilot whales every year, such a tragedy.

Wonderful man 🤝🤝🤝
NatGEO couldn't have done it much better.
Anthony Bourdain likewise.
Kudos, nice video! High quality!
