Paradise Preserved: Norway

RETURN TO THE DUCK ISLANDS

In the Vega Archipelago, way up in the north of Norway at the Arctic Circle, people have formed a unique partnership with wild eider ducks. They provide the birds with shelter in hatcheries, and in return, after the breeding season, collect the precious eiderdown, with which the ducks line their nests.
