No words needed. This place is home to over 120k Bruennich Guillemots. Absolutely impressive. One of natures greatest wonders in the Arctic. Furthermore, the rock formations and its surrounding glaciers are standing out alone as fascinating as the wildlife spectacle.

Photography Tips

Classic compositions and slightly underexpose helps best here. Take in mind that in dependency of the waves, the boat might be bumpy. Hence, leveled horizons might not work in the camera - manually correct it.

The highest activity on the sea cliffs is during the summer month between mid June and August. Thats when you find the full strength of the breeding pairs.
