The Faroe Islands are an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean and an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, with a population of 54,676 as of August 2023. The islands have a rugged terrain and a subpolar oceanic climate, but are warmed by the Gulf Stream, with average temperatures ranging from 12°C in summer to 5°C in winter. The islands have a unique history, with initial Norse settlement in the early 9th century, and have since been part of Norway and Denmark, with periods of self-government and home rule, before gaining extensive autonomy in 1948, and remaining part of the Kingdom of Denmark to this day.learn more on wikipedia
