    High in the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands is an isolated archipelago home to just 54,000 people. Tunnel building began in the 1960s and has transformed this tiny island nation both geographically and socially.

Recently, the longest tunnel yet opened to the southern island of Sandoy, changing the lives of its small community.
