	streymoy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Streymoy is the largest of the islands and the western and northern coasts are almost perpendicular bird cliffs, while the eastern coast is more open with deep fjords and villages that have grown up by where the rivers run into the sea.
		A well-developed road system links the villages and Streymoy is connected to Eysturoy by a bridge and to Vágar by a tunnel.
		Approaching Tórshavn by boat still carries overtones of an epic voyage, but the country waiting is not the same as the one the Vikings found.
