Sorvagsvatn (named by people in the West of lake) or Leitisvatn (named by people in the East of lake), in this image, is the largest lake on Faroe Islands. The lake looks like it is floating high above the ocean, in fact this is a big optical illusion. The lake is about 30 meters above sea level, but the steep cliff combined with perfect angle creates the illusion as if it is hundred of meters height. The cliff where I am standing is Traelanipa, also known as Slave Cliff, it is about 142 meters upwards from the ocean. Slave Cliff has gotten the name where the slaves were pushed off the cliff and threw into the ocean in the Viking Age. |
