The world's smallest capital — turf-roofed houses against Atlantic gales on the Faroe Islands.
Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands — perhaps the world's smallest capital with 14,000 inhabitants. The Faroes are a dramatic Atlantic archipelago of 18 islands halfway between Norway and Iceland. Turf-roofed buildings, sheer cliffs, and dark peaks are picturesque.
