Akraberg

Akraberg is the southern tip of Suðuroy, 5 km south from the village Sumba, Faroe Islands. The name Akraberg derives from akur (cereal field). Five kilometres south of Akraberg is the southernmost point of The Faroe Islands, a rock called Munkurin (The Monk), also called Sumbiarsteinur, which is one of a group of six rocks. This group of rocks are called Flesjarnar. The sound between Suðuroy and Munkurin is notorious for its strong current, it is called Røstin, the poet Poul F. Joensen (born 1898, died 1970) mentioned it in one of his poems ...Røstin rísin rann....

The waters south of Sumba are notorious for their unpredictability. Here lies a series of rocky skerries below and above sea level, and the meeting of currents, together with wind and weather, create dangerous conditions for boats and ships. The situation became more hazardous in 1884 when the high cliff Munkurin on the southernmost rock, Sumbiarsteinur, crashed into the sea and the seafarers lost the fixed landmark of the rocks.

Suduroy, l'isola del vento

L’arcipelago delle Faroe è uno dei luoghi più estremi del pianeta, sia per il clima che vi domina, sia per l’isolamento in cui si trovano. Poche migliaia di persone abitano le diciotto isole che lo compongono, persone abituate a vivere in condizioni climatiche avverse per gran parte dell’anno.
