Sumbiarhólmur

Sumbiarhólmur is an islet in the Faroe Islands, located just outside the village of Sumba, which is the southernmost village on the island of Suðuroy. At 7 hectares in area, Sumbiarhólmur is the 6th largest islet of the Faroe Islands.[1] The North Atlantic Ocean is often quite rough near Sumbiarhólmur and around Flesjarnar further south. Boat accidents have happened in the area.[2]
