When reading another newsgroup I came across this link that may be of
interest to collectors of the Faroe Islands.
http://www.faroeislands.dk/index.htm

The site is non-philatelic, but lists all cities and villages on the islands
with fair descriptions of location, postal code, and a lot of other local
information, and has some stunning photographs from almost "everywhere" on
these remote islands in the North Atlantic. At the bottom of each page there
is a link to source references, that may also serve as inspiration for
further reading.

The site is easy to navigate, and is in Faroese, English and Danish. A site
well worth visiting, if only for information purposes.


The site is easy to navigate, but I wonder how the mail gets to where
it's supposed to go. It appears that most of these towns and villages
have only about 10 - 2000 people. Post office? Where does one exist?

Are each one of those "locations" a true town / village? Yikes!

I thought it was a wee bit desolate up here in the North Country, but
I think I've met my match. :^)
