Black legged kittiwakes are still rearing their chicks after the guillemots have gone. Bjørnoya in Norwegian means Bear Island, but it's rare to catch sight of a polar bear there. The island is in the northern sector of the Barents sea in between Svalbard and the Norwegian mainland. The Arctic island is an important habitat for seabirds, particularly guillemots who use its steep cliffs for raising their young and feed in waters made more fertile by the dynamics of nearby ocean currents.
