Brunnich's guillemots (Uria lomvia) and black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) are among the birds which migrate to the Arctic to breed. They choose rugged cliffs for their nest sites to gain protection from predators. One such nest site is this cliff on Baffin Island in the Akpait National Wildlife Area. It houses one of Canada's largest Brunnich's guillemots colonies.
