Ltla DmunLtla Dmun is a small island between the islands of Suuroy and Stra Dmun in the Faroe Islands. It is the smallest of the main 18 islands, being less than 1 sq km in area. The island can be seen from the villages Hvalba and Sandvk. The southern 1/3 of the island is sheer cliff, with the rest rising to the mountain of Slttirnir (413 m). The island is only inhabited by sheep and seabirds. Getting ashore is difficult, and can be performed only in perfect weather. The cliffs can be climbed with the aid of ropes placed by the sheep owners. The island features as the site of a battle in the 13th century work Faeringa Saga (Saga of the Faroe Islanders).
