位置：丹麥政府管轄下的自治州，位於冰島和挪威之間的北大西洋海域，是西北歐到冰島航線的中途站。它的18個小島上，其中17個島有居民，島之間由隧道、海堤和渡船相連，人口總數約48000。
風景：當地遊覽，永遠離海不會超過5公里。自然景色壯麗，海岸線曲折，長1117公里，多峽灣和瀑布。島上散佈著中世紀的教堂，小漁村、牧羊人的老房子。鄉村風景在陡峭的山地間連綿延伸，此地有70000頭羊，2百萬隻海鳥，世界上最大的風暴海燕棲居在此。遠離塵世的喧囂，遠離購物的商業街，如同桃花源一般。
18個海島散落，曲折寧靜的海岸線和清冽的空氣是它的自然之美。不過，天堂般的法羅群島其實並不寧靜。隨著一條穿山隧道的開通，人跡罕至的嘎薩魯爾小村子也許面臨失去自然幽僻的危險。而更具爭議的是傳統的獵鯨活動。
The Faroe Islands are a group of unspoiled islands that rise from the sea in the North Atlantic Ocean approximately halfway between Iceland and Norway, 250 miles (402 km) northwest of Scotland.
The 18 islets together form a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with a total area of approximately 1,400 km2 (540 sq mi), and a population of almost 50,000. The Faroe Islands are the target of a controversial issue: The Whale Hunt. 「Faroe islanders have been hunting for pilot whales for centuries, giving them valuable food stocks for the winter. But to animal rights activists, the kill is cruel and
unnecessary. 「
