Látrabjarg (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈlauːtraˌpjark]) is a promontory in the Westfjords of Iceland, and the westernmost point in Iceland. [1] The cliffs are home to millions of birds, including puffins, northern gannets, guillemots and razorbills. It is vital for their survival as it hosts up to 40% of the world population for some species such as the razorbill. It is Europe's largest bird cliff, 14 km long and up to 440 m high.
