Clipperton, an Island of Coral

The biggest colony of masked boobies in the world is to be found in the middle of the Pacific, on Clipperton atoll. It numbers almost 120 000 birds! A team of ornithologists is trying to evaluate the state of the Pacific’s waters by watching what these birds eat; the fish that they bring back from the furthest ocean.
