Kalsoy, Island in northern Faroe Islands.
The 18-kilometer stretch of Kalsoy features thirteen mountain peaks, steep black basalt cliffs on the west, and green slopes on the east side.
The settlement of Blankaskáli on Kalsoy ceased to exist in 1812 after destructive landslides forced inhabitants to relocate to other villages.
The Kópakonan statue in Mikladalur represents the legend of a seal woman who sought revenge against local men after being captured and forced into marriage.
Four tunnels connect the villages of Syðradalur, Húsar, Mikladalur, and Trøllanes, with the ferry Sam departing from Klaksvík carrying up to twelve vehicles.
The northern section of Kalsoy served as a filming location for the villain's base in the James Bond film No Time to Die.
