Svínoy (Danish: Svinø) is an island located in the north-east of the Faroe Islands, to the east of Borðoy and Viðoy. It takes its name from Old Norse, Svíney, meaning "Swine Isle". Svinoy also refers to a section of the ocean where North Atlantic water flows into the Norwegian Sea. There is a similarly named island, Swona, in the Orkney Islands.
Svínoy is divided into two unequally sized peninsulas. The coast is mostly steep slopes and cliffs, including the 345 m precipice of Eysturhøvdi on the north coast. It has only one settlement, also named Svínoy, where all the inhabitants live.
The coastline of the island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because of its significance as a breeding site for seabirds, especially European storm petrels (25,000 pairs), Atlantic puffins (10,000 pairs) and black guillemots (100 pairs).
There are seven mountains on Svínoy:

Di suatu ketika
Pernah kau hinggap ke sisiku
Sayapmu terluka
Kau pinta ku merawatinya
Dengan segala keterbatasan
Aku mencari segala penawarnya
Kau bagai dilahirakn kembali ke dunia nyata
Kau terbang semula
Kemuncak yang ingin kau tawan
Itulah jua yang ku impikan
Kau bawa ku pergi bersama menongkah arus
Terbang ke langit menggapai awan
Demi kejayaan
Ada harga perlu dibayar
Ku menjadi perisaimu
Bila panah menghujani kita
Apabila engkau merasa tercabar
Kau anggap aku menjadi sainganmu
Tidakkah engkau menyedari persamaan kita
Hanya camar maya
Biarkan aku terbang melayang bersendirian
Tinggalkan aku mencari arah jalan ku pulang
Biarkan aku terbang melayang bersendirian
Tinggalkan aku mencari arah jalan ku pulang
Kemuncak yang ingin kau tawan
Itulah jua yang ku impikan
Kau bawa (kau bawa daku pergi)ku
Pergi bersama menongkah arus
Terbang ke langit menggapai awan
