A bit of everything

It was my first working day for this season and Iceland gave me a great welcome – by giving me a perfect performance of the changing weather conditions, which are typical for this region. In the morning the sea was very calm, it was sunny and the excellent visibility enabled us to spot the whales…

Summer is coming…..

The last days have been really good for whale watching here in Skjálfandi Bay. We have seen whales on all our trips and it is just really nice to see the increasing number of wildlife her in the bay. We have been seeing more and more humpback and minke whales and on some tours, we…
