Country-wide 7
Long wide fjords + jagged green mountains rising straight from the water, rocky ridgelines along the mountainsides; almost no naturally growing trees
Iceland: Greener + more imposing → Faroes; volcanic black gravel → Iceland.
Gen4 = black pickup truck w/ a front antenna (always blurred); Gen3 = black car w/ a plain grey roof rack
No other country with a similar landscape has these cars - Iceland's truck lacks the antenna.
Iceland: Front antenna + black truck → Faroes.
Houses of wood on an above-ground stone basement painted a different colour; roofs metal or turf (grass)
The two-tone wood-on-stone build with turf roofs is the classic Faroese look.
Faroese (closest to Icelandic): Á Ð Í Ó Ú Ý Æ + Ø
Iceland: Ø → Faroese; Þ → Icelandic.
Denmark: Ð/accented vowels → Faroese; flat Denmark vs fjord walls.
Bollards = small wooden sticks painted yellow, sometimes red on top
Guardrails w/ yellow reflectors - no other northern European country has them
Within northern Europe unique; Andorra/Spain/Belgium use yellow too but look nothing alike.
Andorra: Faroese fjords + Ø/Ð → Faroes; high Pyrenees + Catalan → Andorra.
Spain: Faroese fjords + turf roofs → Faroes; Spanish landscape/language → Spain.
Belgium: Faroese fjords + turf roofs → Faroes; flat Belgian landscape → Belgium.
Directional signs yellow w/ thin black border + metal frame
Iceland: Ø + turf roofs → Faroes; ð/þ → Iceland.
