The islands have typical eroded landforms during the glacial period, with ice buckets and U-shaped valleys developed, full of fully developed fjords and huge pyramid-shaped mountains. The highest geographical point is the Slytala Mountain, with an elevation of 882 meters (2894 feet) and an average altitude of 300 meters. The coastlines of the islands are very tortuous, and the turbulent currents stir the narrow waterways between the islands. The coastline is 1117 kilometers long.

The Faroe Islands were part of the Thulean plateau during the Paleogene period. The Faroe Islands have a temperate maritime climate, and the warm North Atlantic current passes through it. The climate in winter is not very cold, with an average temperature of about 3 to 4 degrees Celsius; in summer, the climate is relatively cool, with an average temperature of about 9.5 to 10.5 degrees Celsius.
