The glaucous gull is a large and powerful gull most commonly seen along the
Icelandic coast during winter. It is pale in color and lacks the dark wing
tips found in many other gull species. The glaucous gull mainly migrates to
Iceland from more northern regions.
Its diet includes fish, carrion, and other birds. It is both a predator and
a scavenger, making use of a wide range of food sources. The glaucous gull is
a prominent winter visitor in Iceland.
