Sorvagsvatn, also called Leitisvatn, is located in the northern part of Vagar, an island located in the Danish archipelago of the Faroe Islands. The lake is known for the singularity of its position, close to a precipice on the Atlantic which from its rocky plateau appears to overlook the ocean. In reality, it is a magnificent optical illusion. Its elongated shape and the wonderful plays of light, influencing perspective, help to deceive the human eye, giving the impression of a surreal inclination.
