This morning we are up at 6AM
to visit Kapp Fanshawe…it is home to one of the largest seabird nesting areas
in Svalbard. The captain pulls the bow right up to the cliffs where we watch
thousands of nesting birds.
They do not actually build nests but lay an egg right on the ledge and tend to it...when hatched they soon push the chick into the water to avoid getting eaten by predators.
