Faeroes
North Atlantic islands
Faeroes is an alternative spelling of Faroes, referring to the Faroe Islands, a self-governing archipelago in the North Atlantic between Norway, Iceland, and Scotland.
The islands are part of the Kingdom of Denmark but have their own parliament and control over most domestic affairs.
The spelling with the extra 'e' reflects older English conventions and appears in some historical and formal contexts.
The Faeroes are known for their dramatic cliffs and seabird colonies.
