Abstract

The Faeröe Islands, 180 miles north-west of the Shetlands, are a part of that far-flung region known geologically as the Brito-Arctic or Thulean province of Tertiary volcanic rocks, here represented mainly by basalt lavas. Various investigators have visited them, and written about them from time to time, but as yet, no complete, detailed geological description of them has appeared. My acquaintance with them is limited to the islands of Stromöe and Suderöe, and my visit was of too short duration to allow much detailed field-work being done. These brief notes and analyses are presented now in the hope that they may be of use to other geologists.
