Description
The Botanist Hans Christian Lyngbye and his Travel to the Faroe Islands in 1817
On the 9th of June in 1817, the Danish theologian, botanic and natural historian, Hans Christian Lyngbye (1782-1837) put ashore in the Faroe Islands. His mission was to collect and gather seaweed and to investigate the algal flora. During his summer long stay he made new discoveries among the algal flora as well as in regular flora, but in the Faroese context he made the greatest discoveries in fields related to antiquarianism, folklore as well as in literature.
At the bicentennial of Lyngbye's travel to the Faroe Islands POSTA commemorates his achievements in botany and some of his antiquarian findings.
