SKÚVOY
An impressive little island, famous for the cliffs on its west coast, where fulmar eggs are traditionally collected.
A ferry leaves Sandur (4 times a day) for this small island nearby (the crossing takes 35 minutes), famous for the cliffs of its west coast, which fall steeply into the sea, and where the traditional collection of fulmar eggs is still practiced: a man, equipped with woolen slippers and harnessed with a wooden hood, descends roped along these vertical and vertiginous walls... It is very impressive to see. He is supported by a team of rope makers who help him to go up. Then, the eggs are shared by the whole community.
