'Landscape & Local Story'

Once a deep natural harbour, it was slowly sealed off from the ocean by sand carried in by powerful storms, forming the shallow, mirror-like waters seen today. The tiny village of Saksun, with its turf-roofed houses and white church, adds a timeless charm to the dramatic scenery.
