Kallur Lighthouse, Faroe Islands
This speck stops wrecks
While up ahead rises a remote archipelago laced with fjords and straits, at our six-o'-clock we'd only see the churning immensity of the North Atlantic. That view to the oceanic void is just what trekkers to this famous Faroese lighthouse hope to see on a clear day. Wait, there's a lighthouse? Keen eyes may have already spotted the humble white-and-red hut that tops the vertical ridge nearest us. Kallur Lighthouse's guiding beacon has served ships since 1927 from its post here at one of the Faroes' northern extremes.
Numerous lighthouses dot this North Atlantic archipelago. Can you spot one here?
