Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles three expeditions the author led to the Faeroe Islands in 1892, 1894, and 1895. At the time, the Faeroes were an isolated archipelago, inhabited by descendants of the Vikings, and largely unexplored by outsiders. The author describes the landscape of the islands, which is dominated by steep cliffs and fjords, and discusses the islands' unique geology and glacial history. He also provides a detailed account of the culture and lifestyle of the Faeroese people, including their language, dress, and traditional way of life. He describes their distinctive customs, such as the annual whale hunt, and explores the islands' rich oral tradition of folklore and storytelling. The book concludes with a discussion of the Faeroes' historical and political relationship with Denmark, and the challenges facing the islands in the modern era.
