TITLE: Bjørnøya-born

The Bear island aka Bjørnøya is a remote island in the Arctic circle. It's part of Svalbard archipelago. Tiny but truly remarkable place on earth. On the Southern part of the island, the majestic cliffs are the haven for the seasonal migration birds forming one of the biggest bird colony in the northern hemisphere. The island is where they nest and breed. Every spring thousands of birds, generation after generation returns back to the source to breed and nest again. This series is just a glimpse into their voyage through the rage of the Barents sea towards Bjørnøya.
