We were here in moderate winds and yet the ocean with its powerful waves offered a natural spectacle. Incredible landscape, raw forces of nature

The village's name, "Gjógv," means "ravine" or "gorge" in Faroese. This refers to a 200-meter-long, seawater-filled ravine that leads from the village to the sea. This ravine serves as a natural harbor for smaller boats. In rough seas, boats must be pulled out of the water via a ramp to protect them from the surf. The ravine is an impressive natural spectacle, especially when the waves crash against the basalt walls.
