The average altitude is 300 meters above sea level. Almost the entire archipelago is crisscrossed by numerous mountain ranges, in which there are about 340 peaks. Of these, 10 reach heights of more than 800 meters above sea level, and seven are lower than 150 meters above sea level. The highest mountain is Slættaratindur (882 meters above sea level). On a clear day, you can see all the islands of the archipelago from its summit. The lowest mountain is Høganes (115 meters above sea level).
The northernmost tip of the island is Cape Enniberg, home to Europe’s highest coastal cliff (754 meters). It is one of the world's highest cliffs (the highest at 1010 meters above sea level is in Hawaii), but it is the only one that is vertical.
The southernmost tip of the Faroe Islands is the Sumbiarsteinur rock.
