Treasure Island: Home of the Puffins and Lost Shipwrecks

Subscribe:    / @norgeview   Runde is an island in Norway. Runde is internationally known for the bird mountain, but also has a lot of visitors from treasure hunters who want to find gold and silver coins after the "Akerendam" shipwreck near the island in the 18th century. Runde has a long history with many dramatic events linked to the weather. Several shipwrecks, some only mentioned in legend, others with large treasures that have been salvaged, led to the construction of Runde lighthouse. Previously there were over 100,000 pairs of puffins on the island, now it is estimated around 30,000. It is uncertain why the birds are disappearing from the mountain, but the main reasons are grazing failure and other complex ecological processes such as sea temperature, ocean currents and salinity in the sea surface...
