South of the land of maybe

Article Abstract:

The Faroe Islands are located at 62-degree north, about 225 miles southeast of Iceland and 160 miles northwest of Scotland's Shetland Island. As the wind is unpredictable in the Faroe Island it is called a 'land of maybe' and the Faroese claim that their sheep can predict the weather.
