KNOWLEDGE OF Hvalba
Hvalba is one of the larger villages in the Faroe Islands.
Population: 654
Postal code (Zip): FO 850
Location: 61°36′7″N, 6°56′58″W
Municipality: Hvalbiar
Football team: Royn (Bóltfelagið Royn)
Hvalba spreads around the bottom of a deep inlet, Hvalbiarfjørður, northeast on Suðuroy.
Two tunnels connect Hvalba to its neighbouring villages. The southbound tunnel (1400 metres) leads to Trongisvágur/Tvøroyri and the northbound one (1500 meters) leads to Sandvík. In the mountains around the southbound tunnel brown coal has been extracted from deep and unpleasantly low mines since the 1770s. The brown coal was an important source of energy on the Faroe Islands until the end of World War 2. A few miners are still extracting coal from the mines.
