#Iceland day 3. 🇮🇸. Lots of driving and lots of rain. Black sand and columnar basalt beaches, more waterfalls, anxiety over running out of gas, up close and personal with bazillions of puffins, and the northernmost southernmost point in the world.

I tend to be the least squee person in any given room but OMG!!! PUFFINS!!! They are utterly charming.

"OK, who ordered the fish?!?"—Me, if I was a Puffin.

(Other Puffins, rolling their eyes—"Every. Single. Time."

#Puffins can hold multiple small fish in their beaks like this because they have small barbs on their tongues, and more in their beaks, to hold the fish in place. Their beaks are also designed to exert equal pressure from front to back.

A Puffin, with around a dozen small fish in his or her beak. The bird is short and stocky; the top of the head, the neck, the back, the wings and the tail are black, while the sides of the face, the chest and the belly are white. The beak, which is much taller than it is broad, is blue near the base and red towards the pointed tip, with yellowish lines around the blue part and within the red part. The short legs and the webbed feet are orange. The bird is standing on ground which is sandy with large stones; although it is not obvious from the picture this is on the top of a cliff.
