WESTMANN ISLANDS, ICELAND, JULY 1993: Puffin Hunting: Bundles of puffins just tossed into the water from the cliff above are picked up by the hunter's boat. Puffins have been a traditional source of food for icelanders for generations. There are 6 million puffins in Iceland. During the short hunting season the puffins are caught on the island cliffs with a special net called a Hafwar.
