Roberto Luigi Pagani Iceland selection

One of the best sites to see puffins. Best to get there in the evening after dinner, when the birds are not out hunting!

Látrabjarg cliffs in Iceland's Westfjords are a birdwatcher's paradise, boasting Europe's largest bird cliff with millions of nesting seabirds. Home to puffins, Arctic Terns, and more, it's a stunning spot for close encounters with these feathered friends. Don't miss the dramatic rescue story from 1947 when local farmers heroically saved sailors stranded below the cliffs. With breathtaking views and incredible wildlife, Látrabjarg is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
