Trælanípa - The Slave Cliff - Faroe Islands (FØROYAR) Part 3

Trælanípa (Slave Cliff) is a perpendicular rock wall, which juts 142 meters upwards out of the sea. Supposedly, it has gotten its name from the Viking Age when slaves were pushed off the mountain. Be careful not to get too close to the edge as it is steep! From here, you can see the southernmost part of Streymoy, Hestur, Koltur, Sandoy, Skúvoy and Suðuroy. Sørvágsvatn is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands. It was used during World War II by the British army as a runway to land seaplanes. An optical illusion along the cliffs, at times, makes this lake appear as though it is suspended above the ocean with a perspective that would make M.C. Escher smile. Sørvágsvatn has a waterfall named Bøsdalafossur, which crashes 30 metres down a cliff directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
