ICELAND, A SANCTUARY FOR PUFFINS

An endearing sea bird

Synopsis

With its exotic appearance and demeanor, sometimes affectionate, other times rowdy but often considered "comical", the puffin is a particularly endearing seabird.

A national emblem and a tourist attraction, its fate is nevertheless a matter of concern to Icelanders as couples have stopped breeding for a decade now.

Faced with this situation, a handful of enthusiasts mobilized to save the puffin.
