🇫🇴Koltur island will soon welcome 2 new superintendents. Picture yourself living & working solo on this 2.30 sq km remote island, surrounded only by nature. Your tasks would include research, preserving historic sites & welcoming visitors.
Would you ever consider it?🐑 #Koltur
Today is one of the rare sunny days in the Faroes. Makes fieldwork on #Koltur so much more enjoyable! Butterflies, Trichoptera and Diptera are hilltopping on the highest point of the island - let's see what ends up in our Malaise trap. #Tjóðsavnið
Surrounded by high mountains #Norðradalur (pop. 10) enjoys a great view of the island of #Koltur.
The village was first mentioned in the land registry in 1584. Its name is formed by #Faroese words #norðrur (northern) and #dalur (valley).

As soon as the sun is out and warming the ground, Notiophilus biguttatus is active on #Koltur. A common species here but it still makes me happy each time I see one.

Thought you might appreciate this moment on #Koltur #mountaintop last summer. Blue sky and a quiet ocean is a rare occurence in the #faroeislands, so #enjoy!

It's time to switch the @LifeplanProject sampling station from the urban site in Tórshavn to the natural site on #Koltur. Working hard until it is getting dark - we'll finish tomorrow.

@RobGMacfarlane "A short history of the world according to sheep" by @SallyCoulthard on the island of #Koltur surrounded by the lovely Faroese sheep.
Yesterday @AnneAusems and I went on a hike to #Kirkjebøur with nice views of #Koltur. Very inspiring place to take some #microbiota #rhizosphere #soil samples for my research with #Thodsavnid, and we ended the day with my first #Auroraborealis on #Nólsoy!
Our research field station on #Koltur is now in the off-season mode. Are you looking for a quiet and isolated place to work on papers or data analysis during the stormy winter months? Check out the possibility for a research stay: https://t.co/uJemHA6Uqp

This week, @birna_var is joining us on #Koltur. Despite rain and dense fog she is collecting #Tardigrada from mosses around the island. Looking forward to add some tardigrade records to our species list! https://t.co/uJemHzPjyR

At the moment, one of my favourite flies is Lonchoptera lutea. Look at those pointy wings! There are plenty of them on #Koltur.

Latest first record from #Koltur is Diarsia mendica (Roðavongur in Faroese, Ingrailed clay in English). It is the 42nd new insect record from the island since 2019.

Not really what I wanted to find today.
This is Obama nungara, an invasive flatworm originating from Argentina. A lack of biosecurity has allowed these to get into the island, and much of the rest of Europe.
@GuernseyBRC #invasive #flatworm
#Koltur is a #Faroese #island resembling a young #horse. And one of five islands whose name does not end with -#oy.
According to @hagstovan only one man, Bjørn Patursson used to leave there since 2011. Data for 2021 indicates no inhabitants on Koltur.
