New article out on Black guillemots and seabirds in Kongsfjorden!

The Norwegian Polar Institute in collaboration with the University of Bergen has done observations on seabirds in Kongsfjorden, with support from Ny-Ålesund research station.

The observations add to the range of glacier-related ecological interactions by documenting how the fast sea ice (with a well-defined ice edge) in front of a melting tidewater glacier sets up favour-able feeding conditions for diving a seabird.
