Incredible underwater tunnel links UK to Iceland and even includes a roundabout Amazing images have unveiled the remarkable undersea tunnels connecting islands halfway between Scotland and Iceland.
The Faroe Islands, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, have built an impressive network of 17 tunnels on land and four subsea, including the world’s only underwater roundabout, to combat the region’s notoriously unpredictable weather.
The tunnels are a lifeline for residents and visitors alike, making it much easier to navigate the archipelago's 18 islands, which are scattered across the North Atlantic.
