The world's largest albatross colony is located on Midway Atoll, a US-owned island. Every spring, dozens of volunteers come here to count their nests. Armed with mechanical counters, they spend several weeks walking the island, manually recording each nest.
There's a job called counting the nests of the world's largest albatross colony, which nests on the Midway Islands in the US.
Every year, a dozen volunteers are recruited for this task: they are armed with mechanical counters and spend several weeks walking the island, manually recording each nest.
The last time, the volunteers counted a whopping 645,000 nests—25% more than last year.
