Drangarnir in the mist, Vagar, Faroe Islands


Drangarnir is Faroe Islands’ most famous rock formation. Located off the island of Vágar towards the visually dramatic islet of Tindholmur, it is a popular attraction to explore in the archipelago. The impressive 230 feet tall sea arch rises straight out of the North Atlantic Ocean. This spectacular sea stack with an iconic hole in it is a key feature of the Faroe Islands. There are two sea stacks that together form Drangarnir. Drangarnir translates directly to “The sea stacks”. The most-known and bigger rock formation is called Stóri Drangur or “Large sea stack”. The smaller one is called Lítli Drangur or “Small sea stack”.
