EPSG:3145 ETRS89 / Faroe Lambert
Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (West Orientated)) in use: Faroe Islands - onshore. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
PROJ — the reference library behind QGIS, GDAL and PostGIS — does not compute this method either: the page stays a reference and the system is not offered for conversion.
