Fossá – The Faroe Islands' Largest Waterfall
In broad terms, one could describe the topography of the Faroe Islands, especially in the northern part of the country, as featuring mountainous terrain and valleys of differing depths and elevations. These mountainsides are steep, marked by horizontal rock ledges, and crisscrossed by more or less vertical stripes created by streams and gradually widening as they descend towards the coastline. In the valleys, these streams often converge, forming regular rivers or pooling into freshwater lakes of various sizes. These lakes, in turn, serve as the origins of larger rivers that flow continuously towards the coast and ultimately into the sea.
