About this postcard

Puffins are colonial nesters, and where you find one you usually find hundreds. Iceland's sea cliffs and grassy headlands support some of the largest Atlantic puffin colonies on earth — the Westman Islands alone host around eight to ten million birds.

This postcard captures a group of puffins at rest on a hillside — their characteristic upright posture, orange feet, and vivid beaks all present. Puffins are surprisingly sociable when not at sea, standing close together and apparently at ease with the world. They will be back next summer, to the same burrows, to repeat the same season.

Every Postcard.is design is a real image from Iceland — a place whose landscapes range from glaciers and waterfalls to volcanic deserts and midnight-sun coastlines. We print each card on quality postcard stock, add your personal message, and post it directly from Iceland with a genuine Icelandic stamp and postmark.
