With the Great Auk(Pinguinus impennis)extinct by humans kill because of their flightless character, the Brunnich’s Guillemot is the Arctic equivalent of the Antractic penguin. When we arrived Alkefjellet, we honored to be there as the fledglings dropped from their nests to join their fathers in the waters. Their fathers will accompany with them and two of them begin the long migration journey.
