Sorvagsvatn, also called Leitisvatn, is located in the northern part of Vagar, an island located in the Danish archipelago of the Faroe Islands. The lake is known for the uniqueness of its position, close to a precipice in the Atlantic that from its rocky plateau seems to dominate the ocean. In reality, it is a magnificent optical illusion. Its elongated shape and the wonderful plays of light, which influence the perspective, help to deceive the human eye, giving the impression of a surrealist inclination.

This natural beauty covers an area of ​​1.5 square miles and is the largest lake in the archipelago. Despite appearing hundreds of metres higher than it is, it is only 30 metres above sea level. This is a truly evocative natural phenomenon that has led the inhabitants of the two opposite shores to dispute the name of the lake. A very heated debate, which fails to unite the citizens of the northwest who call it Sørvágsvatn, while those of the southeast call it Leitisvatn.

Sorvagsvatn attracts tourists from all over the world, a lake that seems literally suspended over the ocean, surrounded by one of the most fascinating and spectacular landscapes on the planet. It is a stunning lake, one of the absolute wonders that only the pristine and wild paradise of the Faroe Islands can offer.
