Panorama Photo

We spent a few hours at the Arnarstapi birdcliffs. The near surroundings are in fact horrible, with developing real estate and the classic orange cones, in combination with many stupid and ignorant people, like the chinese family who tried to catch nesting terns right next to a café, or the Selfie Army blocking certaing bottlenecks on the restricted walking path.

The overall scenery and birdcliffs are however great to watch, and this is a good place to watch one of Icelands truly special bird species, the Harlequin Duck. Also, many Kittiwakes and Fulmars nest, which can be seen as small white Gull-like spots in the left side of the pano, as well as the ever present Puffins.
