Northern Fulmar

Fulmarus glacialis

'Fulmar' is Old Norse for 'foul gull,' because it spits a foul-smelling oil at anything that threatens it. Its scientific name adds glacialis, 'icy,' for the cold northern seas it lives on.

Fulmarus comes from the Old Norse fúlmár: fúll, 'foul,' plus már, 'gull.' Glacialis is Latin for 'icy.'
