FARE FACT
A local proverb says: ‘ull er Føroya gull’ – wool is Faroese gold. Sheep have always been central to the islands’ identity, and last year – impatient that the Faroes were one of the few places in Europe without Google Street View imagery – a few locals started a project to capture 360-degree images of the Faroese landscape by fitting cameras to the backs of free-roaming sheep. Google has now endorsed the effort, and provided cameras that can go on bikes, ships and backpacks – as well as sheep.
