It was 30 years ago that I took my bicycle on the ferry from Aberdeen to Tórshavn on the Smyril ferry. There was no tourist info to prepare for my trip, no internet, I could find no books in the library, basically, I had no idea what the islands would be like. Upon arrival, my passport was stamped 'KOMIN' and I was riding on the wrong side to the small campground. There was only one bar on the whole archipelago. I managed in my 2 weeks there to cycle all the islands using the ferries and cycling through the tunnels which were only dangerous because of stored carbon-monoxide in the middle of the single-lane tunnels. The wind was horrific with waterfalls being blown back upwards, and sheep being blown over. It was an amazing trip in July timed to enjoy the Olavsoka festival. There were no other cyclists and I felt that I was the only foreigner on the islands.Thanks for your video - it was great to see how the islands have changed in 30 years 🙂

"you just have to do the things that the geologists tell you to do" oh my god it is SO refreshing to hear a CEO of any company just say "yeah I just listen to the professionals". I'm shocked.
@kittymervine6115
I love the happiness of the young man for NCC, who smiles and exclaims after the big blast in the tunnel
@ChrisHawkswell
A government who thinks long term, over decades, with the benefits of the people in mind, is a breath of fresh air. Amazing video, thanks B1M

I was going to write that for an engineering channel this was a remarkably beautiful and poignant film. But scratch the qualifier of “for an engineering channel”, this was first rate for anyone. This could easily win an award. Well done!
@alicassidy8913
That shot of you on the boat... The water and surrounding land was stunning!!! Besides that, I'd love to live out my life where the government does its job, it's surrounded by beauty and the ocean, no crime and small communities... A fabulous place to retire.
@moderndiscourse
Not only is this an incredible feat of engineering, but an incredibly next level video to go along with it… It’s honestly amazing how you guys just casually drop borderline feature film quality content on YouTube, for free. Please, don’t ever stop making these.
@macrostreetfinancial
Forget New York skyscrapers. This is the best work you have ever done Fred. Good job
@GraeHall
I've always loved massive scale infrastructure projects, ever since I was a kid. But this video, ugh, it was so incredibly inspiring I struggle to articulate it. This is an example of the best of humanity and what we can do and I so wish we did things like this the world over simply to benefit one another as people and communities rather than simply companies
@gregvassilakos
An 11 km tunnel for 200 million Euros?!!! That's just 18 million Euros per km. In the United States, we probably couldn't build a road on flat ground for that price.
@MrMaddzkillz
I’m from Norway and we always brag about how beautiful the scenery is, especially on the west coast and in Lofoten, but the Faroe Islands looks insane! Definitely a destination to visit.
@SiggiGumma
Me and my parents took Norröna there in 2020. It was just us and our Dacia Duster driving on their incredible road network for a week while we waited for the next trip we could take. What took me by surprise most was the quality of their roads, absolutely brand new with NO dents or cracks. Can't wait for my next visit :)
@JoeVer-d6v
TV documentaries aren't as high quality as this. Amazing work
@pyroslev
It's amazing that there are YouTube channels doing PBS special coverage on things like this. The Faroes will be one of those places that when things go wrong, they're gonna last a long, long time because they built their country out well. They care for their islands and their people.
@michaelbruchas6663
Thanks!
@Ulbre
Absolutely amazing....and the fact they came up with their own plan to finance it, rather than pushing Denmark to do do it, is simply bloody fantastic. Well done Faroe Islands :)
@gerardacronin334
I visited the Faroe Islands on July 16, 2023, as a port of call on an Icelandic cruise. Our tour guide proudly drove us around the Esturoy “Jellyfish” Roundabout (twice)! I feel privileged to have visited the Faroes and appreciate this well produced documentary.
@mitchellhawkes22
This heartfelt story of the land of the Faroes reminds me -- just a bit -- of spots on the Northern California coast. Cold, remote, unpopulated...with its own kind of majesty and beauty.
@HamiltonSurrey
What amazed me were the people of the Faroes. Working together with great vision and co-operation they have built and are still building a better nation for its citizens. It is that which provides a blueprint for other nations to follow. Bravo!
