Faraway falls

The views here in the Faroe Islands village of Gásadalur are breathtaking, but getting around is difficult due to high cliffs and treacherous coastline. Back in 2004, the Gásadalstunnilin mountain tunnel was opened, and this isolated village with its hallmark 98-foot waterfall became much easier to witness in person. Even so, the Faroes are hardly a quick hop from most locales: The nearest mainland is 200 miles away in Scotland.
The Hawaii of Europe?
Nobody's home
March to the arch
An imperiled paradise
Can't beat Cantabria
A cove on Coromandel
A staggering sea scene
A distinctive duo
