Aerial and satellite imagery data for Faroe Islands

National open imagery Openly licensed aerial orthophotography at 1 m or finer covers about 70% or more of the land area.

Umhvørvisstovan publishes orthophotos (myndakort) as free downloads on foroyakort.fo. Its terms grant worldwide use, including commercial use, with attribution. Wide-area imagery at about 20–50 cm aims at national coverage, and drone close-range imagery at 5–15 cm mainly covers settlements. A further 7,164 historical aerial photos from 1958–2016 are online.
