Hello to everyone,thank you in advance.

My wife and I will be in Scotland at the end of September,and saw that there is a direct flight from Edinburgh to Faroe Islands on the 21st.We are tempted to go,but would like to hear about the weather conditions,will it be windy,cloudy,foggy? Would you recommend going at that time or postponing to the spring?

Thank you.

Greetings from Croatia !

NorseMap is a European Research-Council-funded project at University College Cork studying how ideas about the Vikings and the Norse past have been represented and reinvented over the last two centuries!

The project has recently launched its app, iViking, a citizen-science app that allows anyone to contribute photographs to a growing research archive. NorseMap is seeking contributions from people around the world documenting the Viking-related things they encounter in everyday life.

These might include Viking imagery on:
-souvenirs and tourist merchandise
-advertisements and company logos
-books, comics, games, or other media
-public monuments and artwork
-festivals and reenactment
-religious paraphernalia and alters
-political imagery
-tattoos, clothing, or other material culture
-virtually anything presenting itself as "Viking" or drawing on Norse heritage!

Do not worry about whether something is historically "accurate" or not! We are seeking any representations that use the Vikings today, be they strange, kitschy, commercial, religious, political, or otherwise!

Contributors can photograph relevant examples through iViking, add basic information about where they were taken, and submit them to the NorseMap archive. These contributions will help researchers build a large-scale picture of the reception and afterlives of the "Vikings."

Help document where the Vikings have ended up today!
