📍 Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands is a self-governing archipelago, part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It comprises 18 rocky, volcanic islands between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean, connected by road tunnels, ferries, causeways and bridges. Hikers and bird-watchers are drawn to the islands’ mountains, valleys and grassy heathland, and steep coastal cliffs that harbor thousands of seabirds.
Fun fact: There are more sheep than people.
There are approximately 70,000 sheep living on the islands. The last official human population estimate of the Faroe Islands was just 53,358. That's roughly half the population of Inglewood, California.
