JUMPING HUMPBACK IN THE STORM

Sometimes fate seems to play a role in our visitors lives, and last tuesday was a good example.  Unexpectedly a storm hit the bay around noon, and boats had to return from their trips earlier due to it, but the passengers on the 13:15 tour insisted on wanting to go out anyway, and were in for a great surprise!

The captain Aðalsteinn Ólafsson ordered everyone to stay on top of the captains room, in order not to get as wet as they would have considering the rough sea, and hit the "throttle" and headed towards where humpbacks had last been spotted.

In some distance a great creature was seen breaching repeatedly out of the water, and as they got closer it went on and on, and was seen breaching around 40 times on that trip. 

Following are some pictures taken by the guide Jesse Flores.
