Virgin Islands
The most striking feature of the Vega Islands is the simple and traditional way of life of the local residents, which has remained unchanged for 1500 years, as well as their traditional ethnic crafts. The local residents rely on fishing and processing the unique local eiderdown in a relatively closed environment to make a living.
The island has fishing villages, docks, warehouses, farms, and lighthouses, as well as traces left by humans who lived and survived here as early as the Stone Age.
Since the 9th century, the Vega Islands have become an important production and supply center for local duck down and feathers. One-third of the island's residents rely on this as a source of income and have made significant contributions to the development of the down processing industry.
