Description:
Text English. Seabirds are found everywhere along the shores of Greenland, from the gulls in harbours to the dramatic nesting cliffs and the huge little auk colonies, which only a few people have visited. Throughout history, people in Greenland have had a close relationship with seabirds, which have been a resource that could make the difference between life and death. This book gives the first overview of the biology of Greenland’s seabirds, based on the most recent research.
The chapters in the book describe the seabirds that occur in Greenland, their adaptations to the Arctic environment and life on the open ocean, as well as how people have exploited seabirds over time. In addition, the book features portraits of the most important seabird species and personal stories from some of the places where these birds breed.
The book is lavishly illustrated with photos, most of which taken by award-winning photographer and seabird researcher Carsten Egevang.
