Kallur lighthouse on Kalsoy Island, Faroe Islands
Kalsoy is among the northernmost of the Faroe Islands. High, steep cliffs run along on the west shore, but the eastern slope is gentler and is home to four small villages. The lighthouse at Kallur, seen here, is on the northern tip of the narrow isle, with a counterpart lighthouse on the southern tip. About 100 people live on the island, vastly outnumbered by the various marine birds that roost here, including 40,000 pairs of Atlantic puffins.
