BOARD OUR BUSSES and FERRIES and EXPLORE the FANTASTIC SCENERY of the FAROE ISLANDS We Have Seven Ferries, Which Are All Named After Birds BOARD OUR BUSSES AND FERRIES AND EXPLORE THE FANTASTIC SCENERY OF THE FAROE ISLANDS We have seven ferries, which are all named after birds. The freedom that characterizes birds is reflected in our transport solutions. WELCOME We warmly welcome all visitors to the Faroe Islands; you are never too young or too old to experience the breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality of the Far oese – and when you travel with SSL you are the first in line to explore it all.

We offer timely and comfortable ferry and bus trans portation all over the Faroe Islands. Strong coordina tion between our different departures is crucial when operating in a country consisting of 18 islands. READERS OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPIC TRAVELER SAY: THE FAROE ISLANDS ARE NO. 1 National Geographic Traveler and their millions of readers and followers on social medias have voted the Faroe Islands as their favorite travel destination, or “Readers Choice” for 2015. Sustain- able, culturally minded, authentic, and superlative, were some of the reasons for the nomination and win over the title as being “Readers Choice” 2015. I therefore sincerely believe that your trip to our beautiful islands entirely will come up to your hopes. Hilmar Eliasen, CEO, Strandfaraskip Landsins DOMESTIC BUS LINES At SSL, we have 20 bus lines to carry you anywhere you want to go – from Sumba in the south to Gjógv and Viðareiði in the north. For instance you can go by route 202 to Tjørnuvík and see the enormous sea stacks Risin and Kellingin. According to legend they tried to pull our islands to Iceland, but the sun arose from the east and turned them into stone. Today they are visible on route 202 and from the village of Tjørnuvík. Route 201 will take you up the highest moun tain of the Faroe Islands to the beautiful village of Gjógv, where you will find this picturesque harbor. FERRIES SSL operates six ferries – four ferries that carry both vehicles and passengers (Smyril, Teistin, Sam, and Ternan) and another two dedicated to passengers (Ritan and Sildberin).

  • 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).

Field mapping of stratigraphical sections allied to petrographic analysis has identified two competing shield volcano sourced flow fields in the Enni Formation. These shields are thought to be around 45 km in diameter, and were centred around Sandoy in the southwest, and around Svínoy and Fugloy in the northeast.
