The 18 mountainous bodies of rocky land making up Denmark's Faroe Islands are hot spots for tourists from all over the world.

Of the 18 islands, the smallest, Litla Dimun, is the only one entirely uninhabited by humans. However, don't let its size or lack of population fool you. There's something special about this place that not only makes it an amazing island, but one of the most curious spots on the planet!
Amazing Landscapes
The Faroe Islands, owned by Denmark, are a cluster of 18 bodies of land differing in size. Each island has amazing scenery and tranquil energy, and year after year, they welcome visitors from all over the world. That makes it all the more mysterious why one of these islands hardly ever sees human contact.
Litla Dimun
Its name is Litla Dimun, and it's the smallest of the 18 islands. It also happens to be the only one completely uninhabited by humans. That's not to say it isn't connected to the rich history of the Faroe Islands, of course.
Viking Legacy
The islands have a rich history stretching back to 300 A.D. Over the centuries, the islands have seen Scottish, Irish, and Scandinavian settlers, but it was Vikings who claimed the islands as their own in the eighth century.
Old Customs
The Vikings had quite the cultural impact on the area. They brought their Old Norse language with them, which is actually what modern-day Faroese is taken from. The islands were then passed through a few hands until, finally, Denmark took over.
