The Føroyar Islands of Denmark, also known as the Faroe Islands, are a group of 18 small, rocky, volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. They're filled with beautiful scenic views everywhere you turn, but tourists are still rarely seen there. With a small population of less than 50,000, there are said to be more sheep than people - in fact, the name "Føroyar" actually means "sheep islands."

Below, see his beautiful photos of the islands that have remained one of Europe's best relatively hidden gems.
