Around 10 miles in length and 440 metres high, Látrabjarg in Iceland is considered among the world’s greatest bird cliffs. We got there a little after 10 pm last night. It is a wondrous sight.
Látrabjarg was the scene of the dramatic rescue of the British trawler Dhoon in 1947. (Hint to the curious: use Google.)

Rajan,
Amazing pictures, as always! The colors of the puffin beaks and feet are almost neon-like.
Picture 1 of the puffin pair looks like it could be a companion to your now famous Udaipur peacock jodi -”lovebirds”!
Look forward to more Iceland pictures, for my armchair travels.
Thank you,
Shobana
Oh lovely pictures. There were some slightly sad-looking puffins in the Baltimore aquarium. These are gorgeous.
Lovely, Rajan

The recent destruction of wildlife in the Gulf off Louisiana reminds us how fragile life can be and how we shoulde do everything we can to protect it…
