The islands are between the Faroe Islands and the Orkney Islands. They are about 50 miles to the northeast of the Orkney Islands. They are about 100 islands in the group. People live on 16 of them.
The islands form part of the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east.
