Hello!
Rainbows and a whale is the title for this morning by North of Hjalteyri. Some Harbour Porpoises have been spotted with our RIB boat, the wind is picking up now from the north and will turn into a storm that might bring some hailstorm and snow. Keep in mind to stay updated about the road conditions on Road.is and Vedur.is if you are traveling around Iceland.
