Kjartan Midjord

Hi, everybody!My name is Kjartan and I come from the Faroe Islands. I am 26 years old and I work at a daycare center where children from theages of 6 to 10 come to spend their day until their parents get off from work.

I have two younger siblings, a sister and a brother. I also have a 5 year old boxer dog called Akita. She looooves to play with hertoys and wont let anyone else play with them. She also enjoys training and is CRAZY for food.

In my spare time I work out at the local gym and go for walks in the incredibly beautiful Faroese nature. I also enjoy eating goodfood, reading books, watching movies, playing board games and many more things.

Love Kjartan

The Faroe Islands

Location and sizeSituated in the heart of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic at 6200'N, the FaroeIslands lie northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The ar-chipelago is composed of 18 islands covering 1399 km2 (545.3 sq.miles) and is 113km (70 miles) long and 75 km (47 miles) wide, roughly in the shape of an arrowhead.There are 1100 km (687 miles) of coastline and at no time is one more than 5 km (3

miles) away from the ocean. The highest mountain is 882 m (2883 ft) above sea leveland the average height above sea level for the country is 300 m (982 ft).

ClimateThe weather is maritime and quite changeable, from moments of brilliant sunshine tomisty hill fog, to showers. The Gulf Stream encircling the islands tempers the cli-mate. The har-bours never freeze and the temperature in winter time is very moderateconsidering the high latitude. Snowfall occurs, but is shortlived. The average tem-

perature ranges from 3C in win-ter to 11C in the summer. In sheltered areas, thetemperature can be much higher, but the air is always fresh and clean no matter whatthe season.

PopulationThe population is 48,296 (March 2004). The capital of Trshavn has a population of18,400. Klaksvk, the second largest town in the Faroes, has a population of approx.

5,000.Form of GovernmentSince 1948, the Faroe Islands have been a self-governing region of the Kingdom ofDenmark. It has its own parliament and its own flag. It is not, however, a member ofthe European Union and all trade is governed by special treaties.

Language SpokenFaroese is the national language and is rooted in Old Norse. Nordic languages arereadily understood by most Faroese, and English is also widely spoken, especiallyamong the younger people.

ReligionReligion plays an important part in Faroese culture and over 80% of the population

belong to the established church, the Evangelical-Lutheran. 10% of the population

belong to the Christian Brethern (Plymouth Brethern).IndustryThe fishing industry is the most important source of income for the Faroes. Fish prod-ucts account for over 97% of the export volume. Tourism is the second largest indus-try, followed by woollen and other manufactured products.

After sunset he see a lot ofseals svimming towards him. The seals climb ashore and undress from theresealskin, and lay it down on the cliffs. When the seals were out of theirskins, they looked like ordinary people. The young man behind the stonesees a very pretty young sealwomen undress from her skin.
