Europe : Denmark Denmark History Nomadic hunters followed the lichen and moss-eating reindeer into post-glacial Denmark. The reindeer heard 'go north' voices, but Stone Age Danes stayed put, sowing seeds in the ash of slash-and-burn fields, fencing in stock animals and burying their dead vertically. Skill and artistry flowered in the Bronze Age from 1800 BC, trades routes paddled all the way south and the most beautiful made-by-Danes products were buried in bogs for sacrificial safe-keeping. Iron clanged in from 500 BC and was domestically available, leading to the development of large agricultural communities. Present-day Denmark can trace its linguistic and cultural roots back to when the region was settled by the Danes, a tribe that is thought to have migrated south from Sweden around 500 AD. In the late 9th century, warriors led by the Norwegian Viking chieftain Hardegon conquered the Jutland peninsula. The Danish monarchy, which claims to be the world's oldest, dates back to Hardegon's son, Gorm the Old, (Danish mums had a few problems naming their children), who established his reign early in the 10th century. Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, completed the conquest of the Danes, speeding their conversion to Christianity. Bluetooth's gob-stopping successors, Forkbeard and sons got the wood on England, setting up shop and throne and living the sweet life of Anglo-Dane monarchs. They kept it together for half a century or so, but as Viking power waned, the borders of the Danish kingdom shrank back to Denmark.

iWon Travel Europe Faroe Islands Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History St Brendan and his monks sailed past a couple of islands in the 6th century that they named the Island of Sheep and the Paradise of Birds, and modern day historians have speculated that both islands were in the Faroes. The Paradise of Birds may well have been Mykines, the Faroes' westernmost island with an unusually dense bird population. The first human settlers were Irish monks, who did not arrive till late in the 6th century. They were no doubt seeking pagans whose souls they could save, or places where they could leave peaceful lives of devotion. Little information remains about their stay, but it's likely that the herds of sheep that the Norse found there in the 9th century originated from hardy stock the Irish brought with them. Like those who settled Iceland, the first Norse to arrive in the Faroes were simple farmers and pastoralists looking for a peaceful place free of the ravages of pirates and tyrants on the mainland. Little is known of their history before the 14th century, but according to the

Mortensen , Faroese Museum of Natural History, Faroe Islands Tove Nielsen GEUS , Copenhagen, Denmark Trine L. Rasmussen Department of Quaternary Geology , University of Lund, Sweden Ole Humlum UNIS , Department of Geology, Svalbard, Norway The Faroe Islands have a total land area of 1397 km and are situated between 61 o 20’N - 62 o 24’N and 6 o 15’W and 7 o 41’W. The land area is distributed on 18 individual islands, the largest of which is 374 km . From the southernmost to the northernmost point there is a maximum distance of 113 km, while the maximum east-west distance is 75 km. The distance to Scotland is about 350 km, to Norway about 675 km and there is about 450 km to Iceland. The total number of inhabitants is almost 46.000, of which about 16.000 lives in the capital, Tórshavn. Existing meteorological knowledge emphasizes the high sensitivity of the North Atlantic region towards climatic and oceanographic changes. In this respect, the Faroe Islands has a unique position in the midst of the North Atlantic Current, which is responsible for the present mild climate in both W Europe and on the Faroe Islands. The warm water is cooled during winter times in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea and convected to deep water. This flows southward over the Greenland-Scotland Ridges and contributes to North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), which is considered of global climatic importance. The Faroe Islands thus lies in a perfect position to undertake a project on Late Quaternary climatic change, because any change in circulation of North Atlantic surface water or in generation of deep water is apt to have significant and immediate impact on the local Faroese climate.

Faroe Islands History St Brendan and his monks sailed past a couple of islands in the 6th century that they named the Island of Sheep and the Paradise of Birds, and modern day historians have speculated that both islands were in the Faroes. The Paradise of Birds may well have been Mykines, the Faroes' westernmost island with an unusually dense bird population.

Like those who settled Iceland, the first Norse to arrive in the Faroes were simple farmers and pastoralists looking for a peaceful place free of the ravages of pirates and tyrants on the mainland. According to the , written in Iceland during the 13th century, the Faroes converted to Christianity around 1000 and became a constitutional part of the Kingdom of Norway in 1035. Norway was formally joined to the Kingdom of Denmark in 1380, and the Faroes adopted a Danish system of law and justice. From very early on, the government of the Faroes lay in the Alping or 'People's Assembly', but after 1380 parliament ceased and the Alping became little more than a royal court. In 1655, the Danish government presented the Faroes to Christoffer von Gabel as a personal feudal estate. The oppressive rule of both Gabel and his son, Frederick, brought exploitation and hardship to the islanders, and in 1709 the government relieved the von Gabels of the islands.

Vol. 7 No. 17 3 August 1924 [Index] "Boston" Makes Emergency Landing near Faroe Islands Daily Flight Information: "Chicago" Only Departed: Kirkwall, Orkney Islands Arrived: Hornafjord, Iceland Miles Flown: Flight Time: 6 hrs. 13 mins. (9:30 a.m. to 3:43 p.m.) Total Miles Flown: Total Flight Time: 241 hrs. 11 min. [Continued from previous column] The destroyer Reid which had a position halfway between the Faroe Islands and Iceland was not seen. It later developed that it was 32 miles south of its position, this being caused by their inability to make sun observations for several days. The cruiser Raleigh was passed 25 miles from Hornafjord. Excellent arrangements had been made at Hornafjord, including a temporary radio station, set up by the Navy in the building used for the quarters while there. No plans were made for departure the next day, the flight waiting to determine the extent of damage to the "Boston". Daily Report by Lt. L. P. Arnold

Vol. 1 No. 6 22 March 1924 The Round-The-World Flight U-672-A.S (Part II) Because of the vast uninhabited or sparsely inhibited area to be covered by this flight, the preparation of suitable landing fields along the entire route would, in itself, be an immense undertaking, and it is because of this fact, and also that the most feasible route follows the coast for a great distance, the planes will be equipped with pontoons for the greater portion of the journey. This will allow landings to be made in protected harbors along the coast which greatly diminishes the difficulties which would have to be encountered if this flight were to be made with land planes. World Flight Chronicle is a fictitious newpaper-style web document designed to add interest to the events surrounding the first round-the-world flight in 1924, any similarity to an actual newspaper or newsletter is purely coincidental. Events reported in the World Flight Chronicle are true and drawn from primary and secondary sources and cited where appropriate. Historical fictionalization of stories is done purely to enhance readability.
