Hi,We were the only people at this area at all.  No one else has studied this colony of Little auks except for Ann Harding's team.  There are some other teams of scientists studying the same bird on the island of Spitsbergen in Norway.  It is not a well studied bird, since it is hard to get to, and spends most of the year on the sea ice.
We were doing some research that had NEVER been done before!  That was pretty cool!!!
