Iceland is a paradise for bird lovers. The advantage of this attraction is that it is cheap. You will have fun if you are guided in your tour and you will easily get an ornithologist who will supplement these new discoveries with anecdotes. Actually, over 200 bird species fly over the island. Some nest here while others simply stopover for the season. Iceland is the highest reproduction site for seabirds: eiders, puffins, arctic terns, wading birds and sparrows...
Where do they hide?
In western Fjords in Latrabjarg, the biggest bird cliffs in the world, also offering an impressive sight of families of penguin. Puffins have taken the Vestmann islands hostage while ducks prefer Lake Myvatn and the jaegers nest in the sands south of Iceland. A splendid sight that takes you to another world of beauty.
