Lítla Dímun, Faroe Islands, Norwegian Sea

The southern third of the island is sheer cliff, with the rest rising to the mountain of Slættirnir, which reaches 414 metres (1,358 ft). The island is only inhabited by feral sheep and seabirds. Getting ashore is difficult, and can be performed only in perfect weather. The cliffs can be climbed with the aid of ropes placed by the owners of the sheep.
Etymology
The name means "Little Dímun", in contrast to Stóra Dímun, "Great Dímun". According to the Faroese placename expert Jakobsen, "Dímun" may represent a pre-Norse, Celtic placename element, with di representing "two".
