Buenos días! That’s a common greeting in Iceland.
Another common greeting here is the weather. Today was fairly calm but with a good amount of vertical drops, so called “rain”. It was also pretty cold.
In the morning our classic tour found one Humpback Whale in Raudavik. But the crew on the express boat spotted 3 Humpback Whales in Trektinni (around the buoy). At the beginning it was 2 of them together, shortly after they were three.

On our afternoon tours we found the same Whales in the same area around the buoy, but guess what, 2 more Humpbacks have joined the party, making it a total of 5 Humpback Whales. The sea conditions have improved a lot too. We had some extremely close encounters, especially with White Fang.
