SUCCESSFUL DAYS AT GENTLE GIANTS
The past days have continued very successful: Several humpbacks and minkes have been showing up throughout the trips. Also dolphins appeared in huge groups: often boats got surrounded by these lovely and playful animals – one didn’t even know where at to look first! Many groups had either juveniles or even new-born calves with them, what made it again more exciting. Most of the times it wasn’t far to go until the next whale was sighted: Especially the humpbacks were spread in several areas of the bay. Some surprised us by swimming extremely close to shore where they were feeding in shallow waters close to the rivers Skjálfandfljót and Laxá. Whenever we went close to the Cheek Mountains at least one minke popped up out of nowhere and most of the times, they weren’t even shy to approach the boat.
