Birdwatcher explores remote Icelandic Island to study endangered seabirds

Emin Yoğurtcuoğlu, a dedicated birdwatcher known for tracking endangered bird species globally, embarked on a research expedition to Iceland. For about a month, he observed and documented seabirds like puffins and fork-tailed storm petrels on Ellidaey Island, hailed as the world's most isolated house.

The island has only one house, which was historically constructed by the locals to catch puffins. Yoğurtcuoğlu explained that the locals used to eat puffins due to the inability to engage in agriculture on the island.
