Abstract
The formation of landslides on Suduroy, the Faeroe Islands, is greatly favoured by the geological setting and the tectonic pattern of the island. Some landslides involve lavas, the coal-bearing sequence and the luff-agglomerate zone, which served as lubricating agents for the slipped masses. The biggest landslides occur along scarps with the direction NW-SE and are believed to have a relation to the lamellar zones which are characterized by closely spaced fissures. The NW-SE trend is the main tectonic direction on Suduroy.
