The night was approaching when I arrived in Tjornuvík, a tiny village in a fjord on the Faroe Islands. I sat by the beach and admired the sea stacks in the distance. A legend tells that the giants of Iceland became mad, because they hated the fact that the Faroe Islands are separated from Iceland. So they sent Risin and Kellingin, a giant and his wife down to the Faroe Islands to bring them back. They struggled throughout the night to drag the Faroe Islands to Iceland with the help of a large rope. They were not successful and didn't notice time passing, and as dawn broke a shaft of sunlight put a stop to their efforts by turning them to stone on the spot. They have stood there ever since, staring longingly across the ocean towards Iceland.
