Djupini
The Djúpini [ ˈʤʉupɪnɪ ] "the depths" (Danish name Djupene ) are a strait of the Faroe Islands between the islands of Eysturoy in the west and Kalsoy in the east.
The Djúpini are about 7 km wide at their widest point at Gjógv , and 2.5 km at their narrowest point. The strait is about 15 km long and has a maximum depth of 188 m.
In the north the relatively wide strait flows into the open North Atlantic , in the south it is narrowed by the Leirvíksfjørður . On the east coast of Eysturoy the three fjords Funningsfjørður , Oyndarfjørður and Fuglafjørður intersect , while the west coast of Kalsoy has no natural harbors.
In addition to the places of the same name on the fjords, Gjógv , Funningur , Elduvík , Hellur and Kambsdalur are also located in this region of Eysturoy with a view over the Djúpini.
The Djúpini together with the Leirvíksfjørður form the border between the Syssel (districts) Eysturoy and Norðoyar (northern islands). The North Islands were only connected to the mainland in 2006 by the North Island Tunnel, which runs under the Leirvíksfjørður.
