Summary
| Description |
English: Alkefjellet is a basalt rock formation at Hinlopen Strait on Spitsbergen, harboring approximately 60,000 breeding pairs of Brünnich's guillemot (Uria lomvia) in summer. Birds are sitting on every possible space on the cliff with their back to the open air in order to protect the hatchlings.
Deutsch: Etwa 120.000 Dickschnabellummen (Uria lomvia) brüten im Sommer auf dem Alkefjellet, einer gigantischen Basaltformation am Westufer der Hinlopenstraße, Spitzbergen. Die Vögel sitzen meist mit dem Rücken zum freien Luftraum, um die Küken vor Fressfeinden zu schützen. |
