Faroes
North Atlantic islands
The Faroes are an archipelago of eighteen islands in the North Atlantic between Norway, Iceland, and Scotland, forming a self-governing territory of Denmark.
Also called the Faroe Islands or Faeroe Islands.
The adjective is Faroese: Faroese wool, the Faroese language.
We spent a week hiking in the Faroes.
