Iceland puffins postcard

This classic color postcard showcases three Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) perched on a rocky cliff along the Icelandic coast. The birds are captured in their distinctive breeding plumage: black and white bodies, bright orange beaks with blue and yellow markings, and orange webbed feet. The composition highlights their charismatic appearance against a natural coastal backdrop, emphasizing Iceland’s status as one of the world’s top puffin nesting sites (particularly in cliffs around the Vestmannaeyjar, Borgarfjörður, and Látrabjarg).

The back is multilingual (English primary) with the caption: “Puffin birds nest in many cliffs round the Icelandic coast.” It credits publication by Grafik hf, Reykjavík, photo by Snorri Shorrason, and is numbered No. 164 in the series. The layout includes a blank address/message area and publisher’s logo.

A timeless souvenir of Iceland’s wildlife and natural beauty, ideal for collectors of Icelandic postcards, puffin/bird photography, or Nordic nature ephemera.
