Akraberg

Akraberg is the southern tip of Suðuroy, 5 km (3.1 mi) south from the village of Sumba, in the Faroe Islands. The name Akraberg derives from akur. Five kilometres south of Akraberg is the southernmost point of The Faroe Islands, a rock called the Munkurin, also called Sumbiarsteinur, which is one of a group of six rocks. This group of rocks are called Flesjarnar. The sound between Suðuroy and Munkurin is notorious for its strong current, it is called Røstin; the poet Poul F. Joensen mentioned it in one of his poems "...Røstin rísin rann...".
