EDITORS COMMENTS
Westman Islands, Iceland - Puffin Catching. Circa 1903. This evocative photograph captures the traditional practice of puffin hunting on the Westman Islands off the south coast of Iceland. Dating back to the late 19th century, puffin hunting was an essential source of food and income for the local community. The image shows hunters perched atop the cliffs, their bright red and yellow tents dotting the landscape. Bundled up against the elements, they patiently wait for the puffins to return to their nests to feed their young. With the skillful use of long poles, the hunters expertly catch the unsuspecting birds as they fly by, piling up their catch for later preparation. The cliffs of the Westman Islands provide a dramatic backdrop to this scene, their jagged edges and steep slopes a testament to the rugged beauty of Iceland's natural environment. The puffins, with their distinctive black and white plumage and colorful beaks, add a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. Despite the passage of time, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Iceland's past. The tradition of puffin hunting, though largely abandoned today, continues to be celebrated as an important part of the country's history and identity.
