Wandering the Faroe Islands – The Land Born of the Mist

Faroe Islands - Puffins by Alex Berger

Never let anyone tell you that the Faroe Islands are the same as Iceland, Norway or Scotland. They’re a unique destination with its own raw drama that is unlike anything I’ve had the delight of exploring previously.

The footage in this video was taken over 5 days in early August 2018 on a road trip a friend. We had wonderful weather and the opportunity to explore most of the Faroe Island’s main sights. We got lucky and were able to visit Mykines and to catch it during brilliant weather.

Photos from the trip:

  1. WOW! It looks so stunning. I’ve recently been to Iceland and I thought the Faroes will be similar, just on a smaller scale. But it seems they’re a completely separte destination worth visiting. Beautiful photos and video, I’m amazed and thanks for sharing 🙂
