Prins Karls Forland – Fuglehuken – 31st May 2022

31st May was still to continue. We still had time and the weather was so good that we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to have a look at Fuglehuken, the northern tip of Prins Karls Forland. It is one of those places that are so exposed to the open sea that you don’t get here often at all It is really a matter of having a very good day. The most beautiful places are often not the easiest one to get to.
But today was the right day. Guillemots and kittiwakes are breeding in large numbers on the steep cliffs high above the tundra, providing sufficient fertilisation to the accordingly rich tundra. There are even thick layers of peat under a surface of mosses and lichens in some places. And part of the tundra is already snow-free, making the reindeer happy that are grazing here in numbers.
Being able to visit a place like Fuglehuken is really a privilege! I am more than happy to dedicate a blog entry to this very enjoyable event.
By the way, my new book is in print and it can now be ordered 🙂 it is a photo book with the title “Norwegens arktischer Norden (3): Die Bäreninsel und Jan Mayen”, with German text Click here for further details!
