Report on fulmarus glacialis expedition II Jan Mayen june-august 1983
Apart from being mysteriously attracted to the arctic environment we had several good reasons for ornithological research on Jan Mayen. The bird-life of this isolated arctic island was poorly known. Reports of ornithologists visiting Jan Mayen almost 50 years ago give some information on the species...
