For the second day in a row, we started our tours on a completely glassy, sunny and windless morning on our lovely Eyjafjörður.

During our morning tour, we encountered Magnea, our celebrity Humpback whale, just North of Svalbarðseyri calmly swimming around us showing a high fluke. But around us, we also saw all kinds of bird life!

Countless Long-tailed Ducks, Northern Fulmars, Great Northern Divers, Goose flying across the Fjörð and of course our lovely Black-headed gulls.

During our afternoon tour, we spotted again Magnea, but that was not it because we were also lucky enough to spot two Minke whales one of them feeding close to Magnea just to the Western side of the fjörð in front of Svalbarðseyri. And the second one was just North of Hjalteyri.
