A Night with “Puffling Patrol”

August 4, 2025

Every summer, thousands of puffin chicks leave their burrows for the sea, but many are led astray by the artificial glow of town lights.

In Iceland’s Vestmannaeyjar, local children and families have formed the Puffling Patrol. Their mission: to rescue lost puffins and guide them safely to the ocean, protecting a species that depends on the dark to find its way.
