The Faroe Islands lies on the Eurasian plate between the United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland. The Islands are of volcanic origin[1] and are constructed of three layers of basalt where the top and bottom layers resemble each other much. The age of the islands are considered to be between 54 and 58 million years old, where the oldest material is at the bottom [2].
