Lakes of the Faroe Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most important lakes in the Faroe Islands are Leitisvatn on Vágar, Fjallavatn also on Vágar, Sandsvatn on Sandoy, Eiðisvatn on Eysturoy and Toftavatn on Eysturoy. There are many other lesser lakes across the whole country, most of them used for leisure-fishing. Some of the lakes are also used for electricity-production, and especially Eiðisvatn near Eiði and the water-systems around Vestmanna are important in this context. Also in Strond on Borðoy and in í Botni in Suðuroy there are important power-plants.
