The colonyof sea-fowl to the south of the island, on smalloutlying rocky islets, is perhaps one of thelargest of its kind in the Arctic Regions. The adjoining sea is a great resort ofwhales, and on this account the IngebrigtsenCompany of Tromso has established a whalingstation on the most accessible part of theisland. Two whales had recently been caught,and one, seventy-five feet long, had beenhauled upon the shore, and was in process ofbeing flensed. It was an interesting spectacle,but the smell was atrocious. The watersswarmed with thousands of fulmars, feeding,vulture-like, upon the refuse from the whales. [i8].
