  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

  • Man-Dependence of House Sparrows (Passer Domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: Habitat Patch Characteristics As Determinants of Presence and Numbers
    Man-dependence of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: habitat patch characteristics as determinants of presence and numbers SVEN-AXEL BENGTSON, KIRSTIN ELIASEN, LAURA MARY JACOBSEN, EYDFINN MAGNUSSEN Abstract The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) began to colonize the Faroe Islands in the mid-1940s and occurs in most built-up areas. Breeding is confined to the discrete human habitations (settle- ments) that form a pattern of patches (”habitat-islands”). In 2002 all settlements were surveyed and the number of pairs of sparrows (total number ca. 2,700 pairs) and amount of vegetation (”green space”) were estimated. The settlements ranged in size from 0.01 km2 (a single farmstead) to 8.72 km2 (the capital) and 68% of them (n=118) were occupied by sparrows. Patch occupancy was positively correlated with both area and amount of vegetation (p < 0.001) but not quite with the degree of isolation (p = 0.15). The latter was crudely scored as a function of distance to nearest Man-dependence of House Sparrows in the Faroe Islands UÊÓÓÇ Dorete - her book, Annales Societatis Scientiarum Færoensis, Suppl. 52, pp. 227-243.

The patch variables area, human population, number of houses and houses were strongly intercor- related. Abundance (number of pairs) of sparrows was positively correlated with the number of houses (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). In all but one of the settlements with < 10 houses sparrows were absent, and also in many of those with 10-60 houses where the scatter swas wide (no significant correlation p = 0.25).

  • A Visitor's Guide to the Faroe Islands There Are 18 Islands in the Faroese Archipelago, All but One Inhabited
    A Visitor's Guide to the Faroe Islands There are 18 islands in the Faroese archipelago, all but one inhabited. Through a series of causeways and undersea tunnels, you can drive freely between six of the islands: Vágar, Streymoy, Eysturoy, and Borðoy, Kunoy, and Viðoy (called the Norðoyggjar/Northern Islands). The other islands are connected via the ferry and helicopter lines of the Faroese public transportation network as well as private and tourist watercraft. Renting a car allow you to travel freely, but there are also bus connections to most villages. Everything is possible as a day trip from Tórshavn, but staying on different islands will cut costs and make for a more relaxing and varied experience. Vágar and Mykines – The Faroese airport is located on Vágar, which is also known for several beautiful villages and is the point of departure for Mykines – the puffin paradise many consider to be the most beautiful of all the Faroes. I – Mykines, II – Gásadalur and Bøur, III – Witch's Finger Streymoy and Nólsoy – Streymoy is home to the Faroese capital city, Tórshavn (or Havn), as well as many other spectacular natural and historic sites, including the Vestmanna bird cliffs and the abandoned village of Saksun, whose grass-roofed houses stand above a mountain-ringed lagoon. A short boat ride out of the capital takes you to the tiny, peaceful island of Nólsoy. I – Nólsoy, II – Kirkjubøur, III – Island Road, IV – Vestmanna Bird Cliffs, V – Saksun, VI – Tjørnuvík Eysturoy – Second only to Streymoy in size and population, Eysturoy is crowded by 66 mountain peaks and no fewer than 32 villages, including the idyllic Gjógv with its unbelievable natural harbor, tiny colorful Elduvík, Gøta – which hosts the annual G! Music festival in its beautiful fjord – and Funningur, the oldest village in the Faroes, sitting beneath the highest mountain, Slættaratindur.

  • Subsea Road Tunnels in the Faroe Islands
    Civil Engineering Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers https://doi.org/10.1680/jcien.17.00032 Paper 1700032 Subsea road tunnels in the Faroe Islands Received 07/07/2017 Accepted 07/12/2017 Samuelsen and Grøv Keywords: geotechnical engineering; infrastructure planning; tunnels & tunnelling © Published with permission by the ICE under the CC-BY 4.0 license. (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Subsea road tunnels in the Faroe Islands 1 Teitur Samuelsen 2 Eivind Grøv Managing Director, P/F Eystur- og Sandoyartunlar, Faroe Islands Professor, Sintef/NTNU, Norway 1 2 The Faroe Islands north of Scotland has a disproportionally large number of road tunnels. In addition to 44 km of existing tunnels, two further undersea tunnels totalling 22 km will be completed by 2023. A further 30 km undersea crossing is planned, providing nearly 2 m of tunnel for each of the 50 000 inhabitants. This paper describes the country’s recent, current and proposed subsea tunnelling projects. When eventually completed they will reduce journey times between the 18 major islands from up to a day to no more than a few hours’ drive. 1. Introduction of Norway. It is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark but is not part of the European Union. The Faroe Islands is an archipelago of 18 mountainous islands At present there are 20 road tunnels totalling 44 km in operation located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Scotland and 600 km west on the islands, including two subsea toll tunnels – the 4·9 km long Vága tunnel that opened in 2002 and the 6·2 km long Norðoya Viõoy Kalsoy Kunoy Fugloy tunnel that opened in 2006 (Figure 1 and Table 1).
