TITLE: Arctic Terns Gathered on Grimsey’s Runway

DESCRIPTION: A group of Arctic terns congregates on the runway of Grimsey Island, Iceland’s northernmost inhabited territory. The birds stand in a loose formation on the paved surface, their white plumage contrasting sharply with the dark tarmac. This unusual gathering spot demonstrates how these seabirds have adapted to human infrastructure, using the flat, open runway as a convenient resting and congregation point between fishing expeditions in the surrounding Arctic waters.
