Rituskor, Cliffed coast in Hvalba, Faroe Islands
The Rituskor cliffs rise directly from the sea along the western coast of Suðuroy, creating vertical walls that reach considerable heights above the North Atlantic Ocean.
The cliffs of Rituskor have endured centuries of wave erosion, forming deep notches at their base and contributing to the formation of the current coastal landscape.
Local fishermen navigate their vessels near Rituskor's cliffs while practicing traditional fishing methods that have sustained the Hvalba community for generations.
Visitors can access views of Rituskor through boat tours departing from Hvalba harbor, with excursions operating during favorable weather conditions from spring through autumn.
The geological formations at Rituskor display distinct layers of basalt rock, intersected by natural caves and crevices that serve as nesting sites for seabirds.
