The average per person yearly income 280,000 Yuan places, in the most human eyes should be extremely lively, everywhere is a tall buildings city? If this place is only a desert island, because and the volcano as well as the sea geology cause the land to only to be able to plant the potato barrenly, nearly all can move the biology is eaten all is in imminent danger the animal.
The Faroe Islands, is located between Norwegian and middle Iceland's North Pacific Ocean, lives the islands by 17 some people and the near hundred nobody island is composed, is not living to 1400 square kilometer land area 49,000 people.In fact, the Faroe Islands only then welcomes the first group of irish people until the A.D. 6 centuries to settle down, afterwards has turned over between the Uygur Beijing person and the English several times, is only then finally listed as by Denmark the overseas autonomous territory.
Because the Faroe Islands belongs to the basalt and the volcanic rock rugged landform which the ice age forms, and further because the soil the marine denudation causes to pass salty high, besides most does not care about the soil the potato, only then the unique variety sod may the long-term survival.Therefore, the native only can catch fish and raise Yang Wei to live, finally is named as the Faroe Islands (the farrow language: Yang Dao the meaning), finally evolves the whole world in a big way to catch the whale to stand one, whenever the summer all has the near hundred Scandinavia whaling ship to gather at here.
In the past near hundred year time, the Faroe Islands altogether has captured and killed at least 500,000 each kind of whale, after 2000 maintained at the every year 800 catches, is caught by the farrow the whale person to regard as arrogantly is, so long as they 30 seconds could kill a whale, again pulled after the ashore separation whale meat whale oil sell or distribute each each household edible.According to United Nations's data display, the Faroe Islands peripheral whale species already reduced 90%, quantity also fall to the insufficiency in a century 5%, at present the rare species whale has been listed as the protection animal.
Because the archipelago belongs to the temperate zone marine climate, and further because the Gulf Stream affects causes the temperature year to year to occupy the zero degree to 16 degrees between, therefore the Faroe Islands also becomes three foot gulls, puffin, North Pole tern and so on sea-bird's habitats.Danish Government has made statistics, majority male which grows up in the Faroe Islands, catches every year each kind of sea-bird all about 5000-6000, although looks like also has very many sea-birds, but compares with hundred years ago, the present sea-bird quantity might ignore nearly.
Although the Faroe Islands inhabitants depend upon the wool exportation and the fishing industry yearly income can maintain at 45,300 US dollars (approximately 280,000 Yuan), but the islanders as before capture and kill the sea-bird actually edible, even is listed as after each kind of sea-bird is in imminent danger the protection animal still massively was capturing and killing.Now directly becomes one of Faroe Islands tourism selling points, many hotels also promote into can enjoy “the sea-bird meal” the activity, also therefore is called by the tourist “can move is eaten nearly all is in imminent danger the animal”.
Exceptional is, Faroe Islands's seafood type has not reduced, but and is extremely good because of the environmental protection the fish to enrich to casts a net all to have the harvest degree casually.On the island the price is not low, occupies basically besides the seafood price the Norwegian level.Simple saying, one slightly the onion 10 Yuan, on cabbage hundred Yuan all is the regular price, but the seafood aspect price unusual common people, mainly are actually the native all eat the seafood not to create too many appetites from infancy to maturity.
