#Funningsfjørður (pop. 59) is located at the bottom of an inlet. It's an outlying village from #Elduvík found in 1832 as #niðursetubygd.

Its name comes from the village of #Funningur - the noun #finningur means #find. Tradition says that the first viking on the #FaroeIslands, #Grímur Kamban, settled there.

The company #OceanRainforest is experimenting with #seaweed cultivation in the fjord, and at the port, up to 4k pallets are produced daily.
