The Kolbeinagjógv (Strendur) quarry

Strendur Quarry, Kolbeinagjógv, Sjóvar Municipality, Eysturoy Region, Faroe Islands

View from the dumps down into the currently active quarry. Inside the quarry findings were poor during my visit. But in the dumps above you can find stuff, but please note THIS IS NOT from the quarry itself. The stuff on the dumps comes from constructions and will be used to refill the older part of the quarry.
