The group of volcanic islands lies half way between Scotland and Iceland and was never visited by Street View, the online service offered by Google to navigate maps as if walking down a country's streets.
"Taking matters into my own hands, I decided to create my own version of Street View – Sheep View 360," Andreassen wrote on her blog this Monday.
Although some areas on the Faroe Islands are not accessible by car, there are plenty of sheep around – twice as many as inhabitants, according to Andreassen.
"I gently placed a 360° camera, powered by a solar panel, on the back of a sheep that would take photographs as the animal freely grazed the open hillsides of the Faroe Islands," Andreassen explained. "Photos are then transmitted back to my mobile phone so that I can upload them to Google Street View myself, finally putting the Faroes on the map in a very unique way!"
This Tuesday, she released the first 360° video filmed by sheep. Watch it below, using the arrows to rotate the viewing direction:
Andreassen's next challenge is to find out how to get the camera back from the sheep – and to gather enough signatures on a petition to convince Google to visit the Faroe Islands and complete the mapping exercise.
