Seal Woman in Mikladalur

Nestled on the northern tip of Kalsoy Island in the Faroe Islands, the charming village of Mikladalur is famed for its connection to the mythical seal woman, Kópakonan, and its breathtaking natural beauty. The village name, meaning 'large valley' in Faroese, aptly describes its geographical setting – a spacious valley surrounded by towering cliffs and rugged coastline.
For the most captivating photographs of the Kópakonan statue, consider visiting in the evening hours. However, due to the ferry schedule, it may be challenging to capture the perfect sunset shot. Therefore, consider taking the very first ferry in the morning to make the most of your time in Mikladalur.
