Abstract
Insect and pollen samples were recovered from a series of locations along Saksunardalur on Streymoy, Faroe Islands. The insect samples were sealed by tephra from a mid-Holocene eruption of the Iccelandic volcano Hekla, and one series was underlain by the Saksunarvatn Ash. The pollen sequence was taken across the Saksunarvatn Ash, some 4 km south east of the lake. The identified biota provide a basis for discussion of the origins of the flora and fauna, and the nature of the early Faroese landscape.
