Today winter definitely arrived to Akureyri. We had strong wind from the north that brought us snow and waves. As we sailed north in to the fjord, we got super cold. But it was definitely worth it since what was waiting for us South-East of Hjlateyri was, a group of 4 Humpback whales, plus 3 more that were swimming by themselves around us. But the best thing was that, just before we decided to go one of the humpback whales started waving at us showing us its beautiful pectoral fin.

We in the end we had a very nice show and a total of 7 Humpback whales.
