Dolphins and a minke whale

Today was the first day of summer here in Iceland. At 10:00 we left the harbour in nice sea conditions and we started our search along the east coast, sailing towards Lundey, the puffin island. We came across a lot of seabirds (not only puffins, also fulmars, guillemots and some other species), but we didn’t…

The Search
