Who they are
The Faroese inhabit the remote archipelago of the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic. Descendants of Norse settlers and Celtic peoples, they preserve a unique maritime culture and their own language closely related to Old Norse. With a strong sense of community and a rich Christian tradition, they keep their roots alive in small coastal villages.
