Ivory Gulls 2008

In May/June 2008 I got the chance to participate in aerial surveys in North-eastern Greenland. The main objective of the surveys was to find hot spot areas with birds or mammals. The surveys were conducted throughout the world's largest national park ranging from Scoresbysound in the south all the way to the northern most tip of Greenland. Highlights were plentiful with Narwhals, Polar Bears and lots of Ivory Gulls. The following pictures have all been taken at Station Nord at 81°36' North 16°40' West (making it the world's second most northerly lying constant settlement) where there is a breeding colony.
