GOOSE BUMP MINKE TRIP WITH GG
After four seasons as a whale watching guide, and several hundred trips, one can still experience new things - as no two tours are the exactly the same.
I could not believe my eyes when the minke (which had been behaving like minkes do most) suddenly started jumping right in front of us - it was so unexpected! Just like the rest of the Icelandic nature whales are unpredictable and this one suddenly started showing off. I will never forget that encounter...
We got amazing views of this ten metre, ten ton sea monster exposing itself in this powerful way.
Thank you Paul van Gils (The Netherlands) for sharing those amazing photos.
