Sørvágsfjørður, Fjord on Vágar, Faroe Islands.

Sørvágsfjørður is a fjord on Vágar Island in the Faroe Islands that cuts inland from the Atlantic Ocean. Steep mountainous walls and tall coastal cliffs frame the waterway on both sides.

During World War II, British soldiers were stationed in Sørvágur at the head of the fjord. The Royal Pioneers, present in the Faroe Islands from 1941 until the war's end, published their own newspaper and are commemorated at the World War II Museum, Krígssavnið, in Miðvágur.

The fjord serves as a working fishing ground where locals maintain their connection to the sea through daily maritime activities. You will see this living tradition reflected in the boats and equipment scattered along the shores.

You can reach this fjord easily from Sørvágur village by following the main road from Vágar. Regular boat tours depart from there and give you the best way to explore the water and surrounding landscape.
