What I want to see is "puffin".
I really like that color and the cuteness of the weapons growing from my eyes.
Look at the puffin in a place like this.
The guide is very familiar with flowers.
A guide walking in a tundra can't keep up as fast as a watered fish.
About 200 tourists a year are all enthusiasts with
polar lenses or spectacle lenses in search of polar
lovers or seabirds.
Perhaps I am one of them. Even if you look at small birds,
they all look like sparrows.
There are hundreds of endemic species on the Island,
but the guide to see the difference is truly a professional.
Beautiful flowers that stand out in the tundra.
When approaching, the guide violently warns, "Don't touch."
Dark purple flowers are a type of aconite and are dangerous flowers that contain highly toxic components.
Three of us go on a harsh natural land far from the refreshing hike in spring.
There are no people, no houses, no livestock.
Even in the summer, Islands that need winter clothes
are plagued by wind and fog.
Red, yellow and white flowers are pleasing to our eyes,
but raspberries are still a little early.
Poppy flowers that
were also in bloom in the North Pole.
Alaska poppies are strong in the far north, and their
vitality makes them bloom even in the middle of the road.
The tundra area is a bumpy land. In the light rain,
the guide, Mr. Johanna (from Newark), leads the way.
Often, my feet are about to be taken by grassroots and my body is out of balance.
Pretty flowers that are blooming as if clinging to the ground.
It is a harsher natural environment than Rebun Island in Hokkaido.
"Would you like to go home?"
"Eh, are we going home?"
Soaked at our feet, she is wearing Chan and boots.
Boots and a rain coat are a must on this Island.
"Please prepare boots".
