Norðoyar region

The Norðoyar region has served as a northern island community within the Faroe Islands since the Viking Age. Spread across Borðoy, Viðoy, Kunoy, Kalsoy, Svínoy and Fugloy, it occupies the archipelago’s exposed northeast, where narrow sounds divide steep, layered basalt islands. Klaksvík, on Borðoy, is the Faroes’ second-largest town and the regional centre, with a harbour long tied to fishing and maritime life. Roads, causeways, tunnels and ferries bind the islands in different ways, while Kalsoy’s northern end leads to the Kallur lighthouse above the North Atlantic.
