In Iceland the climate is changing faster and faster. The consequences for the wildlife are already visible.

​

A roar is heard from the Atlantic Ocean. From the horizon and beyond fulmars, arctic terns and herring-gulls are heading out. 

​

A couple of years ago scientists in Iceland started to discover that the huge colonies of birds suddenly started to disappear.

​

From all over Iceland reports of dead chicks are coming in.

​

The predominant cause of the deaths is the changing climate. As the Atlantic Ocean gets warmer the currents change and so is the abundance of the bird´s prey.  

​

This is a story about change.

About what happens as the tide rolls in.
