Drangarnir (lit. 'the sea stacks' in Faroese) is a pair of sea stacks in the North Atlantic Ocean, situated between Tindhólmur and Vágar of the Faroe Islands, a Danish archipelago. The larger sea stack is named Stóri Drangur (lit. 'large sea stack') and the smaller Lítli Drangur (lit. 'small sea stack'). Drangarnir is located near the Faroe Islands' only airport and is a popular attraction among tourists to the archipelago, particularly due to Stóri Drangur's sea arch.
