The cliffs of Latrabjarg, in Iceland, marks the westernmost part of Europe.
These cliffs are home to millions of birds, including puffins, northern gannets, guillemots and razorbills.
It is Europe’s largest bird cliff at 14km long and up to 440m high.
Latrabjarg is famous for how close one can get to watch the birds.
Safe from foxes, the birds are fearless, and provide stunning photographic opportunities from close range.
Their main breeding period is from May to July.
For centuries, the cliffs were a source of delicious seabird eggs for the local people.
Farmers would catch birds and gather eggs, risking their lives as they rappel down the dangerous cliff face.
Its estimated that around 35,000 birds were caught here every year until the late 1950s.
