#5 in Faroe Islands
Sørvágsvatn, also known as Leitisvatn, is the largest lake in the Faroe Islands, located on the island of Vágar. The lake is renowned for its optical illusion when viewed from certain angles, where it appears to be elevated significantly above the ocean, though in reality it is only about 30 meters above sea level. This stunning visual effect is created by the steep cliffs that drop off into the Atlantic Ocean. Sørvágsvatn covers an area of 3.4 square kilometers and is a popular destination for hikers and photographers due to its dramatic scenery and the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
