This North Atlantic archipelago is located 300 km north-northwest of the United Kingdom and about halfway to Iceland. It is famous for a beautiful landscape of small islands with a dramatic scenery of waterfalls into the ocean, steep cliffs and high mountains. The isolated piece of land in the Atlantic Ocean have also become a heaven for many seabirds. My visit in the beginning of May was timed with the start of the breeding season for Fulmars, Puffins and Gannets. And it was a great opportunity to observe the huge quantities of birds breeding in these waters. The constant noise, the sheer numbers of birds and the vibrant life of a bird cliff is an unforgettable experience.
