Guten Tag,
Today’s weather was not nice. Cold and breezy. Iceland’s summer in a nutshell for ya. So we decided to sail to Tenerife instead. But on our way out, we quickly found 2 Humpback Whales feeding together just outside Svalbardseyri. So we thought we’d skip Tenerife and stay in the fjord. We watched those 2 whales for about an hour and continued further north, where we found a 3rd Humpback and also 2 Minke Whales south east of Hjalteyri.
During our 1300 tour, we saw 2 Humpbacks and one of them started breaching and mainly head slapping. Quality stuff that.
