Faroe Islands Trælanípa
Along the hiking path, when you first see down to the sea, turn sharp left. There is a short path leading uphill. From up there you get a better angle and you can see the cliffs are actually overhanging. The name Trælanípa (slave cliffs) comes from the believe that the vikings threw old and weak slaves down those cliffs when they weren‘t of use anymore.
Photography Tips
Wide angle lens needed (taken at 11mm on APS-C)
