WELCOME BACK EVERO
As October is about to end, another well known humpback whale has arrived to Skjálfandi Bay. Evero, who was first sighted in September 2016 (and yearly since!), is back once again!
Look at the photo taken earlier today and then the photo from October 2023 and thoroughly compare the animal's tail: humpback whales can be distinguished and identified by the iconic black and white patterns on the underside of their flukes. These patterns are just like our fingerprints: unique.
Therefore, no two humpback whales will ever have an identical pattern and it is possible to recognise and track these magnificent animals through photo identification - wherever they go.
Were you able to recognise Evero?
In fact, you can also find and track Evero on happywhale.com (see third photo).
Which whales have you seen while out at sea with us?
