Subjects : Around 10,000 pairs of puffins nest every summer in Borgarfjörður. This is probably the easiest and safest place to look at puffins in Iceland.

Recommended equipment : A 200mm is more than enough as puffins do not seem intimidated by humans. There is an observation shed, but around it is full of nests and a walkway allows you to shoot very close

Best months : Definitely the summer time for puffin

How to get there : From road number 1 (ring road), near Egilsstaðir follow route number 94 for about an hour until you arrive at Borgarfjörður eystri (some dirt sections but perfectly passable with a two-wheel drive

Visits : free entry to the walkway, offers are accepted at the shed to maintain the structure.
