Walk the tundra below Jan Mayen's cliffs with an onboard ornithologist to watch thousands of nesting fulmars, skuas, and little auks at eye level.
What to expect
You'll hike gently uphill from the landing site toward the seabird cliffs, pausing often as the guide identifies calls and nesting behavior. Arctic skuas may dive-bomb close overhead defending territory. The group stays small — often under 12 — so the pace is unhurried and conversational.
Good to know
Bring binoculars if you have them; weather and skua aggression can shorten the route; best light and calmest wind are usually mid-morning.
