From wikipedia: It has been suggested that the name Mykines is actually pre-Norse in origin, coming from muc-innis, a Celtic term for pig island. This may be a reference to whales, which are known as muc-mhara (Sea sows) in Gaelic.
ha ha, what you don't see here is all the sheep shit everywhere ! I just went to Mykines only a day ago and made that same hike to the lighthouse. what an amazing part of the world the Faroes are
It looks like this island in the past has suffered a major failure and half of it has collapsed into the sea... ??? I can only imagine the size of the tsunami such an event would cause..
Could please someone give a clu about the naming of this island? Why its given a greek name? And when it was named "Mykines"? Is this realy it's original name or what
thank you :)
