This morning we departed from a very cloudy Akureyri, but it started clearing up as the day advanced. But unfortunately, the wind started picking up so the afternoon tours were a bit choppy on the fjord.

During the morning tours, the fjord was so flat that looked like a mirror. So, we could easily spot our friend the Short-beaked Common dolphin that is still hanging around North Akureyri. But not far from the dolphin we also spotted a very sneaky Minke Whale. So sneaky we only saw it one time. But around the area, the fjord was so calm and glassy that even a bunch of Northern Fulmars joined us around our first Humpback Whale, Magnea. Just SW of Svalbarðseyri. After being with it for a while, we sailed further north where we encountered our second Humpback Whale! Camel, always showing a high fluke.
