Along the way we will receive an introduction to the local flora and fauna, before visiting one of the
world’s most exciting nature reserves, Gjesværstappan.

From the vessel we can study Finnmark’s largest flock of puffins, together with large numbers of kittiwakes.
During the nesting season this area teems with life as mighty sea eagles hover above in search of prey, while guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, Arctic skuas, northern
fulmars, Brünnich’s guillemots, and the large northern gannet fill the air with a cacophony of shrieks and screeches.

In the autumn you can also catch a glimpse of Europe’s smallest seabird, the British storm-petrel.
