about

Mykines is the puffin stronghold of the Faroes—grassy slopes dotted with burrows, cliffs where gannets nest, and skies thick with wings when the colonies take flight. Life here bends to the will of the weather; storms can cut the island off for days, and it's often cheaper (and more reliable) to fly in by helicopter than to come by boat. At the far end, a windswept lighthouse overlooks the Atlantic, a beacon in one of the North Atlantic's most iconic outposts.
