Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The bizarre basalt rocks at the western coast of Hinlopen strait host approximately 120,000 Brünnich's guillemot (Uria lomvia) who come here in summer for breeding. Very often the rocks are covered in fog providing an eery atmosphere. The air is filled with a large flock of birds. The birds noise and the smell are overwhelming, though.
Deutsch: Die bizarren Felsen des Alkefjellet am Westufer der Hinlopenstraße beherbergen im Sommer etwa 120.000 Dickschnabellummen (Uria lomvia), die hier zum brüten herkommen. Die Felsen sind oft in Nebel gehüllt, der in der Region eine gespenstische Stimmung erzeugt. Die Luft ist voll von Vögeln. Der Krach der Vögel und der Geruch des Vogelkots sind überwältigend.
