About 

The Faroe Islands are situated in the Atlantic Ocean about midway between Norway, Scotland and Iceland.

The sea never freezes over. The average temperature is about 3 °C in the winter and 11 °C in the summer. The temperature is quite high considering the high latitude. It can get surprisingly hot in sheltered places.

The population of the Faroe Islands is about 53.000.
