Photo by @nickcobbing // Kittiwakes at Gnålodden Svalbard

Svalbard must be a contender for the strangest place names. This picture was taken underneath a towering cliff called Gnålberget on a fjord called Hornsund. In Norwegian the word ‘gnål’ means ‘nagging’ and was used to name the cliffs after the constant sound of nesting colonies of black-legged kittiwakes and Brünnich’s guillemots. If you want to practice your Norwegian, the letter å is pronounced like an ‘aw’ as in ‘yawn’. This picture was selected recently for the American Photography 35 award and the accompanying book. You can see some inspiring work by the selected photographers (including some TPS members) at www.ai-ap.com
