Fossurin í Fossá is one of the highest waterfalls [1] in the Faroe Islands, and one of the biggest attractions in northern Streymoy. [2]
"Fossá" in the Faroese language means "river with waterfalls", and there are several streams in Faroe Island with such a name.
The waterfall is located near the village of Haldarsvík, [3] in the Sunda Kommuna municipality. [4] It goes cascading 140 metres down to the sea in two stages. [5]
