Feel like you’re at the end of the Earth as you escape to the Faroe Islands Ben West 14 May 2021, 22:05 LANDING at the Faroe Islands’ tiny airport is certainly an experience – the runway is wedged between two jagged, rocky mountains that lead down to lush green grass. There are no trees as the wind has blown them all down. There’s not a house, person or a sheep in sight.
