An 11 km tunnel for 200 million Euros?!!! That's just 18 million Euros per km. In the United States, we probably couldn't build a road on flat ground for that price.

It was 30 years ago that I took my bicycle on the ferry from Aberdeen to Tórshavn on the Smyril ferry. There was no tourist info to prepare for my trip, no internet, I could find no books in the library, basically, I had no idea what the islands would be like. Upon arrival, my passport was stamped 'KOMIN' and I was riding on the wrong side to the small campground. There was only one bar on the whole archipelago. I managed in my 2 weeks there to cycle all the islands using the ferries and cycling through the tunnels which were only dangerous because of stored carbon-monoxide in the middle of the single-lane tunnels. The wind was horrific with waterfalls being blown back upwards, and sheep being blown over. It was an amazing trip in July timed to enjoy the Olavsoka festival. There were no other cyclists and I felt that I was the only foreigner on the islands.Thanks for your video - it was great to see how the islands have changed in 30 years 🙂

Absolutely amazing....and the fact they came up with their own plan to finance it, rather than pushing Denmark to do do it, is simply bloody fantastic. Well done Faroe Islands :)

A government who thinks long term, over decades, with the benefits of the people in mind, is a breath of fresh air. Amazing video, thanks B1M

TV documentaries aren't as high quality as this. Amazing work

I was going to write that for an engineering channel this was a remarkably beautiful and poignant film. But scratch the qualifier of “for an engineering channel”, this was first rate for anyone. This could easily win an award. Well done!

I love the happiness of the young man for NCC, who smiles and exclaims after the big blast in the tunnel

Your videos have now reached and often surpassed the quality and impact of the glory days of Nova, National Geographic and Scientific American. Truly impressed with your work here. What a beautiful and informative video, truly some of the best documentary journalism out there.

Not only is this an incredible feat of engineering, but an incredibly next level video to go along with it… It’s honestly amazing how you guys just casually drop borderline feature film quality content on YouTube, for free. Please, don’t ever stop making these.

Forget New York skyscrapers. This is the best work you have ever done Fred. Good job

I thought I wanted to move from the South East of England to the Scottish Highlands when I retire, now I'm considering the Faroe Islands! They've placed their civilisation within a natural beautiful wilderness without making it lonely.

I've always loved massive scale infrastructure projects, ever since I was a kid. But this video, ugh, it was so incredibly inspiring I struggle to articulate it. This is an example of the best of humanity and what we can do and I so wish we did things like this the world over simply to benefit one another as people and communities rather than simply companies

It's amazing that there are YouTube channels doing PBS special coverage on things like this. The Faroes will be one of those places that when things go wrong, they're gonna last a long, long time because they built their country out well. They care for their islands and their people.

I’m from Norway and we always brag about how beautiful the scenery is, especially on the west coast and in Lofoten, but the Faroe Islands looks insane! Definitely a destination to visit.

Amazing engineering. As someone who regularly works on construction projects over $100M, I'm struck by how cheap these tunnels were to construct. California's high speed train is now tracking $100B and growing and most of this uses above ground rails.

Um WOW Fred and the team have outdone themselves yet again. Best video ever!! I also genuinely checked the date it was posted in the first minute because it thought it might be an April Fools joke, such an incredible project in such a tiny remote spot. Brilliantly done!

I visited the Faroe Islands on July 16, 2023, as a port of call on an Icelandic cruise. Our tour guide proudly drove us around the Esturoy “Jellyfish” Roundabout (twice)! I feel privileged to have visited the Faroes and appreciate this well produced documentary.

Forget skyscrapers and densely populated urban centers, this is the real banger masterpiece 🔥

Easy to have the money for infrastructure when you don't have a defense budget ⚔️🤭
