Worth it?
Come for scale and weather, not greenery. One creator says they saw pretty much zero trees, putting it down to the islands' exposure to the North Atlantic and its strong winds, and another titles their video 'Is this where the map ends?'. That remoteness is the draw for hikers and landscape photographers who like steep cliffs and narrow fjords. If you want mild weather and leafy trails, this is the wrong trip.
Before you go
- Pack for wind. A creator links the treeless landscape to strong North Atlantic winds.
- Expect open views of cliffs and fjords rather than forest.
Highlights

- Narrow fjords
