Some more dramatically than others!

Múli

Múli “ruin of the bird catchers’ house”?

This place was a total trip. First of all, this was during Covid so there were no people here except me. Maybe that’s usually the case. I don’t really know. The information sign (below) is really cool–among the first settlements on the Faroe Islands, now a ghost town, and a skilled sorcerer resident to boot? Fascinating history for such an incredibly beautiful and abandoned place.

I don’t know why the sign calls the place Múla instead of Múli. Everything I read on the internet calls the town Múli.

Haldarsvík (Faroe Islands)

This is just part of the tallest waterfall in the Faroe Islands. To see the rest, you need a drone (or maybe there is a hike?).

Árnafjørður sheep

Árnafjørður Lamb

Did you know that there are more than twice as many sheep as people living in the Faroe Islands? This was about the cutest lamb I’ve ever laid eyes on. Also, the mangiest.
