Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Cleanup Шаблон:Infobox islands

Gjesværstappan is a group of high, steep-sided, grass-covered islands which are located north of the island village of Gjesvær in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The three main islands are Storstappen, Kjerkestappen, and Bukkstappen.

Storstappan rises to a height of Шаблон:Convert above sea level and has a peninsula called Stauren that rises to Шаблон:Convert. Kjerkestappen rises to an elevation of Шаблон:Convert above sea level and Bukkstappen rises to Шаблон:Convert above sea level. Historically, there were people that lived on the islands and there was a church on Kjerkestappen.

Nature reserve

The islands contain a large colony of seabirds and have been designated a nature reserve since 1983, as well as being an Important Bird Area (IBA). The land area of the reserve is Шаблон:Convert, but the reserve also includes Шаблон:Convert of the sea surrounding the islands. The largest colonies of cliff-breeding seabirds are mainly located on the bird cliffs of the biggest island, Storstappen, and between June 15 and August 15 visitors are not allowed to set foot on this island.[1][2]

The colony is regarded as important because of the large numbers of birds. A 1988 survey found 70 pairs of great cormorants, around 50 pairs of European shags, 5000 to 10,000 pairs of black-legged kittiwakes, about 600 pairs of common murres, 25 pairs of thick-billed murres, about 2500 pairs of razorbills and about 50,000 pairs of Atlantic puffins. The 1988 survey also found northern gannet nests.[1]
