Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are a self-governing archipelago of 18 islands in the North Atlantic, roughly halfway between Iceland and Norway, and part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Steep green slopes, sea cliffs and fjords shape the islands, which are linked by tunnels, bridges and ferries; the capital, Tórshavn, lies on Streymoy.
Faroese, a North Germanic language close to Icelandic, is the main language of the islands. Their parliament, the Løgting, first met on the Tinganes peninsula in Tórshavn and is counted among the oldest surviving parliaments in the world.
