Two dynamic weeks of whale watching
In the last two weeks the conditions on sea have been good. The sightings during this time have exceeded all expectations and the wild life is thriving in Skjálfandi, both below and above the surface. Humpbacks and dolphins have played the leading roles in North Sailing tours as well as the abundant bird life; arctic turns, puffins, kittiwakes & fulmars.
Following are pictures that were taken in the last few days, they describe the atmosphere on the tours better then 1.000 words!
