The Eysturoy Tunnel, as it is locally known, is the only sub-sea tunnel in the world with a traffic roundabout. This roundabout, nicknamed "The Jellyfish," was designed to allow drivers to drive either to the capital city of Tórshavn or the village of Skálafjorður. What makes this roundabout so special is its major art installation of glass and iron featuring lights and human figures that join hands around the edge as a symbol of unity. This makes the roundabout a must-see on our return journey to Tórshavn. The tunnel is a marvel of engineering, constructed to withstand the strong Atlantic currents and drilled around 100 metres below sea level. This is a journey you must take just to experience the beauty of Eysturoyartunnilin (The Eysturoy Tunnel).
