Tindhólmur, Uninhabited islet near Vágar Island, Faroe Islands
Five distinct peaks rise from the ocean to form this 262-meter-high rocky formation along the Sørvágsfjørður fjord coast.
The traditional Faroese measurement system classified this 65-hectare islet as two merkur, indicating its historical significance in land assessment methods.
Each of the five peaks carries specific Faroese names: Ytsti, Arni, Lítli, Breiði, and Bogni, reflecting local linguistic traditions.
Visitors can view the islet from the village of Bøur or take boat tours departing from Sørvágur marina to experience its geological formations.
The westernmost section contains several small lakes on a flat plateau, creating an unexpected contrast with the vertical cliffs.
