About this postcard

The Atlantic puffin is Iceland's most recognisable bird and one of its most enduring images. Each summer, Iceland hosts over eight million breeding pairs — more than 60 percent of the world's population. They nest in burrows on sea cliffs and grassy headlands, raising a single chick before returning to the open ocean for winter.

Photographing puffins requires patience but not much distance: they are famously unbothered by human presence, particularly when perched. This shot was taken in the bright light of an Icelandic summer, where the blue of the sky deepens in a way that doesn't happen at lower latitudes. A genuinely Icelandic image, sent with a genuine Icelandic stamp and postmark.

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.
