Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Fuglefjellet at Isfjord is a steep and inaccessible cliff of about 400m height just west of Longyearbyen. Erosion formed numerous vertical crevices leaving the impression of temple columns as seen both in Isfjorden and in Tempelfjord. Fuglefjellet owes its name to numerous bird colonies. The bird faeces are a fruitful ground for moss, lichens and grass that grow on the less steep parts of the cliff.
Deutsch: Der Fuglefjellet im Isfjord ist ein steiles, unzugängliches Kliff westlich von Longyearbyen. Erosionen haben vertikale Spalten geformt, die dem Berg ein tempelartiges Aussehen verleihen. Das Kliff verdankt seinen Namen einer großen Anzahl an Seevögeln, die hier im Sommer brüten. Der Guano ist eine fruchtbare Unterlage für Moose und Flechten auf den flacheren Hängen des Berges.
