Vestmanna

In December 1759, during the Seven Years' War, François Thurot's squadron sheltered from stormy conditions at Vestmanna. The lack of supplies available from the islanders motivated the subsequent raids by the squadron on the north Irish coast. ==Geography==

It is surrounded by the mountains of Hægstafjall (), Økslin (), Loysingafjall (), and Moskurfjall (). ==Tourism==

Vestmanna is often called the tourist village of the Faroe Islands. The main tourist attraction is Vestmannabjørgini. In 2012, a camping site was established at Inni á Fjørð with a capacity of 120 caravans in addition to tents. == Photos from Vestmannabjørgini and Vestmanna ==
