Recent developments in the North Atlantic have revitalized old descriptions of the Faroe Islands as stepping stones towards another world, in this case the Arctic. Numerous opportunities for collaboration and economic growth, but also threats from geopolitical competition and militarization form a dynamic new context and create new narratives about the whole region surrounding the islands. From being first and foremost a Nordic nation with close connections to Scandinavian societies, the Faroe Islands are becoming more and more interesting to the outside world as a gateway to the Arctic.
