The Faroe Islands, also called the Faeroes, is an archipelago between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic, about halfway between Norway and Iceland, 200 mi north-northwest of Scotland. Despite this island group's northerly latitude, temperatures average above freezing throughout the year because of the Gulf Stream. In 1814, the Treaty of Kiel granted Denmark control over the islands, along with two other Norwegian island possessions: Greenland and Iceland. The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948. The people of the Faroe Islands also compete as a national team in certain sports.
