Oltre 700 delfini uccisi in un giorno nelle Isole Faroe durante il grind: una strage senza precedenti, tra carenze di attrezzature, accuse di crudeltà e l'arresto di due attivisti di Sea Shepherd che stavano filmando i fatti.

Norðoyatunnilin, an undersea tunnel linking two #Faroe Islands, cost DKK 396M (£61M in 2026 GBP) when it opened in 2020.

The proposed mainland #Shetland to Yell tunnel, similar in length and at a third the maximum depth, is estimated at £400M+ GBP.

Faroes have scale on their side, having built 27 such tunnels, but that's still a striking difference.

Not my kind of engineering, but having used the tunnels in the Faroes on many occasions, and knowing a number of people old enough to appreciate and talk about the difference that they have made, I will be very interested to see how this progresses.

I was spinning the light grey Faroe, and thought 'I'm sure I got a jumper's worth of this.' so I went rooting. I'ts even better than a whole jumper's worth of grey!

I must have had a stripey one planned but now I'm wondering if different colour marled three ply where the dominant colour changes would be nice.

Either way it's a big project. So at least I have a bit of colour to stop me getting too bored with it.

According to the Færeyinga saga, the first settler in the Faroe Islands was a man named Grímr Kamban, it may have been the land taking of Grímr and his followers that caused the anchorites to leave. The nickname Kamban is probably Gaelic and one interpretation is that the word refers to some physical handicap, another that it may point to his prowess as a sportsman. Probably he came as a young man to the Faroe Islands by way of Viking Ireland.
