Selvik

Selvík is a small bay on the southside of Sørvágsfjørður. It is about one kilometer to the west of the village Sørvágur. From 1902 to sometimes in the 1920s Selvík was home to a whaling station, built by Norwegians. The Norwegians came to Sørvágur in March or April 1902, they came with the cargo ship "Viking" and with the Norwegian whaling boat "Norddeble". The factory was ready to use in June 1902.

Located at 59.5667, 10.25 (Lat. / Lng.), about 0 miles away.
