Discover Faroe Islands: The Country With the Most Disgusting Food Habits? 59 Fascinating Facts
Discover The Faroe Islands: a Paradise with world's most disgusting food habits?
The Faroe Islands is one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Its stunning natural beauty, rugged landscapes, and pristine coastline make it a must-see location for any traveler. If you've been fortunate enough to visit this incredible archipelago, then you know firsthand just how awe-inspiring it can be. The islands are home to many stunning waterfalls, including the Múlafossur waterfall on the island of Vágar. This iconic waterfall drops from a height of 60 meters (197 feet) into the ocean below and is a popular tourist attraction on the islands.
The Faroe Islands have a unique charm that captures the hearts of all who visit, and it's no wonder why. However, what truly sets the Faroe Islands apart from other tourist destinations is its cuisine. Have you ever tried fermented fish? How about a dish made from a sheep's head? These are just a couple of the traditional foods you can expect to find on the Faroe Islands. But why do the locals eat such unusual dishes?
In this video, we'll dive into the history of the Faroe Islands and you will learn fascinating things about the island including their language, history, nature, culture, traditions, economy and much more!

The colonization of Africa has created many seemingly arbitrary (and sometimes problematic) borders. One of these African borders is so complicated that it is the only one of its kind in the world. Driaan takes a closer look at how the world's only quadripoint was drawn onto the map, and how its future affects Africans, travelers, and anyone using a smartphone.

The Burning Man They DON'T Want YOU To See! (RARE FOOTAGE)
Burning Man is an annual festival held in the Black Rock Desert on the barren playa in Nevada, claiming to be the world's largest Leave No Trace event. For one week, 80,000 people gather to camp out and create an experimental city known as Black Rock City. Today, we travel to the location of Burning Man 2019 to conduct an investigation into what they leave behind. What we found was SHOCKING...
In this documentary, we cover the aftermath of the Burning Man festival: from around the area of Reno, Nevada to the environment around the Black Rock Desert, this is the impact of 80,000 people camping at Burning Man in the Nevada desert.

I went to a country that ‘doesn’t exist’ at least on the map. But it’s a place that sure feels like a real country. Being here is a reminder that international relations can often ignore the realities on the ground, and the people who live in these places. For me it’s important to not just look at these places on a map but to go and see them. Feel them. Talk to the people who live there. That’s what this fourth and final episode from Cyprus is about. I hope you enjoy.

7 Islands No One Wants to Buy Even for $1
Do you ever you dream to own a private island? If you do, you'll probably find this information useful. Have you ever heard that there are whole islands out there that you can purchase for a fraction of the typical price? But the real kicker is that nobody wants to buy them! And there're reasons for that.
Have you ever heard, for example, about Japan's Rabbit Island? They began to thrive and multiply on the island after a chemical weapons plant was closed. And these days, thousands of friendly bunnies will greet you if you decide to pay them a visit!

SUMMARY:
- For just 80,000 bucks, you can become the owner of not one but six islands situated on Brazil’s Sao Francisco River. But you’ll be subject to small annual taxes.
- Although Little Rocky Island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, neighboring islands protect it from foul weather. There’s no property on the island, but you can build anything you like there!
- Also known as Terrible Tilly, this island’s nickname speaks for itself. Well, it’s not technically an island in the traditional sense, it’s basically a rock with a single lighthouse on it off the coast of Oregon.
- If you have an extra 40K, you can buy a 1-acre island with a view of picturesque Maine. There’s a little cabin on the island, and you can theoretically build some other property there too if you want.
- You could become the owner of a historic private island on one condition: you have to restore the fort situated on it.
- People typically associate private islands with some sort of tropical paradise. But Canada’s McGibbon Island is nothing like that. Perhaps that explains the super low price tag of 30 grand.
- Welcome to a tiny island off the coast of Tasmania, Australia. This offer is open only for couples, and both partners should be equally eager to go to the island.
- Ōkunoshima Island lies approximately 2 miles off the coast of Japan. From 1929 to 1945, there was a chemical weapons plant on the island that produced poisonous gas.
- Dubbed Battleship Island because it looks like an old half-destroyed battleship, Hashima is located about 9 miles away from Nagasaki. From 1887 to 1974, there was a profitable coal mine on the island.
- Located in Venice, Italy, Lazzaretto Nuovo is also open for tourists but home to nobody. In 1468, the island became a quarantine area for ships that approached the city. This move was meant to protect Venice from the plague.
- Jaco Island belongs to the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. This island looks like the picture of true paradise: lush green trees, crystal blue waters, and white sand. But his place is uninhabitable.

Countries with the WORST natural geography on Earth
The geography of our planet is extremely unique, there is quite simply no other planet like it.
The geography of a country plays an important role in aiding or hindering its political, economic and military strength.
If you are a small, landlocked flat country, you will likely be an easy target for an invasion.
If you are surrounded by gigantic mountains, this helps to prevent land invasion, but it may also hinder your trading options.
So in this video, we've researched some of the most disadvantaged countries in the world when it comes to natural geography.
