Description
Gjesværstappan is a group of high, steep-sided, grass-covered islands 15 km west of the Nordkapp cliff. The islands contain a large colony of seabirds and have been designated a nature reserve since 1983. The largest colonies of cliff-breeding seabirds are mainly located on the bird cliffs of the biggest island, Storstappen, and between June 15 and August 15 visitors are not allowed to set foot on this island. The amount of nesting birds is impressing: about 70 pairs of Grand Cormoran; around 50 pairs of Cormoran huppé; 5000 to 10,000 pairs of Mouette tridactyle ; about 600 pairs of Guillemot de Troïl; 25 pairs of Guillemot de Brünnich; about 2500 pairs of Pingouin torda; and about 50,000 pairs of Macareux moine. Also some Fou de Bassan nest here. The islands are best visited May to August. Other birds you can see are Guillemot à miroir, Mergule nain and Pygargue à queue blanche.
