The Faroe Islands in spring
April through May: the islands wake up.
Puffins arrive in early May. Daylight stretches past 21:00 by late May. Temperatures sit around 6–10°C. Wind remains the dominant variable.
Spring is the photographer's secret season — fewer visitors, fresh green grass, and weather still actively changing.
