While they are incredibly adept at the near-vertical environment, they can only graze down to a certain point above the ocean, without the danger of falling. And the wildflowers and other plant life know that, and thrive, inches below danger-level.

Obviously there are sheep everywhere you look around here. On the Vestmanna cliffs, they are contentedly grazing on what looks like perilously-close to vertical cliffs, above the ocean. Would have to think that if you picked one up and put him on a flat surface, he’d fall over. “I don’t know how to do that”.

Wonderful cruise of the Vestmanna cliffs, in the Faroe Islands.

Out of Husavik. Some of the other-worldly stuff for which Iceland is justly famous.

In Siglufjörður, took a tour in an old restored oak boat - used to be a fishing boat, now taking tourist/passengers. They set up a few folks with fishing gear, and most were successful. VERY windy and VERY cold.
