Lítla Dímun, Faroe Islands, Norwegian Sea

The island has never been inhabited by humans, but sheep were kept there from ancient times, being mentioned in the 13th century work Færeyinga Saga (Saga of the Faroese). The saga also features the island as the site of a battle between Brestur, father of Sigmundur and Gøtuskeggjar. The battle resulted in the death of Sigmund's father and his men and the deportation of Sigmund to Norway, where he befriended Olaf Trygvasson.
Shipwreck
In 1918 The Danish schooner Caspe, carrying a cargo of salt, was driven onto Lítla Dímun by a gale. The six crew were able to reach a narrow ledge just above the surf, but they had no stores, and the captain was severely injured. Eventually they managed to move from the ledge, and found a cabin half-way up the island which had matches, fuel and a lamp.
