Located on the southernmost island of Southend in the Faroe Islands, Cape Akelaberg is one of the most iconic natural features in the North Atlantic region. The 102-meter-high steep cape is made of ancient basalt, and its distinctive black walls contrast with the green grassy slopes around it, revealing the raw and rugged geology of the Faroe Islands.

The reserve has a safe viewing platform where visitors can enjoy the breeding birds and the breathtaking ocean views of the North Atlantic.
