The surrounding seas are home to orcas as well as minke, fin, and blue whales.

Jan Mayen is a true bird paradise. Colonies of gulls, fulmars, puffins, and many other birds thrive here.

Jan Mayen's surreal landscape, dotted with icy glaciers and steaming hot springs, offers a haunting juxtaposition of fire and ice, captivating those fortunate enough to witness its otherworldly grandeur.
