The far-flung Faroes

Connected to the remote island of Mykines by a short footbridge, this landmass less than a mile long is home to a century-old beacon. Built in 1909, Hólmur Lighthouse stands surrounded by sea cliffs and seabirds on the westernmost tip of the Faroe Islands. If you were to sail due west from this North Atlantic archipelago administered by Denmark, you'd cover more than 1,000 miles of chilly seas before spotting the fjord-laced coast of Greenland—where, should you manage to alight on the icy shore, you'd still be on Danish soil.
