Reposted from @_gs_7u 🇫🇴The legend of Kópakonan, literally meaning “the Seal Woman”, is one of the best-known folktales in the Faroe Islands. Seals were believed to be former human beings who voluntarily sought death in the ocean. Once a year, on the Thirteenth night, they were allowed to come on land, strip off their skins and amuse themselves as human beings, dancing and enjoying themselves. . . 📍Location: Mikladalur, Faroe Islands 📍Coordinates 62°20'08.3"N 6°45'46.5"W . . . 📸Photo by @phototravelalex Follow @destination_grid . . . . . . . . #destination_grid #summer19 #faroeislands #faroeisland #visitfaroeislands #denmark🇩🇰 #northerneurope #scandi #kalsoy #milkladalur #summerholiday2019 #summervacay #summerdestination #phototravel #phototraveling #phototraveler #phototraveller #travelphotoblog #travelphotograph #travelphotography📷 #travelphotooftheday #travelpictures #travelpicoftheday #worldtravelpic #travelpicsinsta #besttravelpics #viajantes #viajante #sealwoman #passportexpress https://www.instagram.com/p/CE3EVpAB3ht/?igshid=w9fqu4p8h13w
