Holocene records from two lakes on the Faroe Islands were investigated to determine regional climatic variability: the fairly wind-exposed Lake Starvatn on Streymoy and the more sheltered Lake Lykkjuvotn on Sandoy. Sediment cores were analysed for content of biogenic silica, organic carbon and clast...
