A low-hulled boat slips out of Sørvágur harbor with the islands carving the horizon—black cliffs, ragged islets and a waterfall that seems to pour directly into the North Atlantic. Sea spray and the call of gulls set the pace as the skipper turns toward the narrow throat where Drangarnir’s twin pillars rise from the swell.
