Fossá
Fossurin í Fossá is one of the highest waterfalls[1] in the Faroe Islands, and one of the biggest attractions in northern Streymoy.[2]
"Fossá" in the Faroese language means "river with waterfalls", and there are several streams in Faroe Island with such a name.
The waterfall is located near the village of Haldarsvík,[3] in the Sunda Kommuna municipality.[4] It goes cascading 140 metres down to the sea in two stages.[5]
