Exploring the wild beauty of Faroe Islands from above

Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are dominated by glacial landforms, and due to the strong winds, the islands are practically treeless. Múlafossur is a spectacular waterfall on the island of Vágar in the Faroe Islands, dropping from a 30-meter cliff. The waterfall can be seen as a little white speck where the river in the first south-facing valley from the west on the peninsula meets the sea. It is close to the small village of Gásaldur on the shore.
