Israel
vs.
Faroe Island???
The Faroe Islands are one of the " •
last places in Europe where
everyday life brings what people
elsewhere look for: closeness,
.nature and peace
The geographical location and size •
of myr islands have contributed to
the preservation of our own culture
and language. Today we consider
our modest size a benefit
inasmuch as we have a choice how
close we want to be to the outside
.world and vice versa
The Faroe Islands have no •
ambition to become a goal of
masstourism. But more and more
foreigners would like to visit our
islands, and the we the Faroese
want them to feel welcome. We
have therefore started to expand
tourist facilities, a task which is
being coordinated by the Faroese
Government tourist board.
Hotel and youth hostel capacity is •
being enlarged, package tours
arranged, excursigns organised
and tourist brochures prepared.
The possibilities of travelling to the
Faroes by boat or plane are now
better than ever, including the
possibility of combining a stay in
the Faroe Islands with a visit to
.Norway, Scotland or Iceland
.Man is a minority here •
Besides 43,000 people, there are 3.5 •
million birds that call the Faroes their
home. The bird cliffs have permanent
inhabitants and returing visitors, and in
summer, the spartan homes on the cliff
ledges are overcrowded. They don´t
need to catch the chairman´s eye to be
allowed to speak, and there is a lot of
chattering about the catch out there in
the great depths.
These are birds which spend most •
of their lives at sea. Several of the
species come ashore only during
breeding time and leave the bird
cliffs as soon as the brood is
.fledged
80000 sheep graze on the Faroese •
.mountainsides
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
In a few places where sheep are let •
loose in bird cliffs or on isolated rock
formations in the sea, each individual
sheep is sold by auction after being
.gathered
