82 Complementary gravity observations in the Faroe Islands
(Fuglafjørður), whereas there are question marks against the
records in the southern part of Streymoy.
The anomaly picture of Suðuroy is presented in Fig. 9. If
there has been a surmise that the Faroe Islands consisted of two
parts gravimetrically, Suðuroy being the one part, the present
gravimetric picture indicates that the Faroe Islands act as one
unit gravimetrically. The new measurements add to the de-
tailed picture, and also here the gravity picture seems to point
to a more irregular geology.

Messrs. Klaus Hedegaard, Lars Madsen and Torben Rex
Sørensen — at that time geophysics students at the Laboratory
of Geophysics — did most of the field work.
