Tromholt skriver om Sværholtklubben i Finmark i boken sin "Under the Rays of the Aurora Borealis, vol 2" (1885): "In a few hours and we round the cap of the peninsula, the famous bird mountain Sværholtklub, jet black in colour, one of the most remarkable sights in the world. The mountain rises to a height of a very nearly a thousand feet, exhibiting bold and fantastic contours and steep cliffs, while the base is lined with buolders. But what forms the attraction and interest of the rock are the millions of sea-birds which nest on it. Along every one of the innumerable terraces, caused by the stratiform formation of the mopuntain, and all of which run nearly horizontally, white birds sit in rows, like the porcelain jars in a chemist shop, one above the other, so close that the mountain in many places has the appearance of being covered with snow."
