Les petits pingouins (Alca torda) viennent sur des îlots du fleuve St-Laurent afin d'y effectuer leur couvaison. Cet îlot porte le nom de 'Pilier de bois'. Sur le dessus du rocher, nous voyons les cormorans. Les papas pingouins et les petits s'amusent dans l'eau pendant que la mère couve l'oeuf. La couleur orange indique jusqu'où la marée peut se rendre. Cette croisière d'observation a lieu seulement en mai et en juin. Croisières Lachance offre aussi d'autres forfaits à l'Isle-aux-Grues, à Grosse-Ile et à l'Ile-au-Canot, toutes des îles situées dans le fleuve St-Laurent. Croisière très intéressante avec beaucoup d'informations de la part des guides.
The razorbill colony from the extreme eastern region of the St. Lawrence come by thousands to breed on the islands of the archipelago. On top of the rock, we see cormorans. Male penguins and small one are in the water while the female broods the egg. The orange color indicates how far the tide can go. This observation cruise takes place only in May and June. Lachance Cruises also offers other packages to Isle-aux-Grues, to Grosse Ile and Ile-au-Canot, all islands in the St. Lawrence River. Very interesting cruise with lots of information from the guides.
