Description
First described in 1803, the barnacle goose migrates to Britain and Ireland in the winter, to escape the harsher climates of Greenland and Svalbard Island. The biggest population, though, can be found in Novaya Zemlya, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. The sudden appearance of adult geese, with no prior sign of nesting or goslings, gave rise in folklore to the story that barnacle geese either grew on trees or developed from the goose barnacles found on driftwood.
