Drangarnir
Drangarnir is a stunning location in the Faroe Islands, located on the island of Vágar. This natural wonder is a set of sea stacks that rise majestically out of the ocean, creating a breathtaking sight that is a must-see for any traveler. The location is a popular spot for photographers, who come to capture the beauty of the sea stacks against the backdrop of the rugged coastline. The area around Drangarnir is also home to other picturesque locations, including the village of Bøur and the famous Múlafossur waterfall.
This was actually the first shot I got of Drangarnir (or the big sea stack of the two). The small sea stack hides behind this magnificent rock formation. In the back rises Tindholmur, yet another fantastic rock formation/island. The pease here is amazing, we were only a small group of hikers/photographers that went there. It was truly amazing.
Note: you will need a guide to get here, not only because it’s private land, but there are some sketchy parts in the path (or no path at all). When you visit the Faroe Islands, make sure not to miss this.

A longer and more demanding hike takes you to Drangarnir (which translates to sea stacks). The large sea stack occludes the smaller one. In the back, you can see Tindholmur disappearing in the cloudes. It was an amazing trip out here, and the scenery is well worth the hassle. Note: you have to get a guide as this is private land.
