SIGNS OF SUMMER
As the days fly by, the town becomes busier, brighter, and full of life. We’ve recently enjoyed several warm and sunny days, and at last it truly feels like summer is arriving. Around here, that means one thing: our high season is just around the corner.
Behind the scenes, preparations for the busy weeks ahead are nearly complete. Whether in the office or down by the boats on the pier, there is a constant rhythm of planning and maintenance. The last boats are receiving their final touches, including fresh paint, finishing details, and plenty of care. New team members are being welcomed into our blue family and trained for the busy months ahead.
At the same time, our Flatey season has officially begun, and the first tours to the island have already departed with great success. It is always special to see the season come alive again — welcoming visitors to experience the peaceful beauty, wildlife, and unique atmosphere of Flatey Island, our little paradise across the bay.
Another sure sign of summer is the return of wildlife to the bay. Over the past several days, we have spotted multiple humpback whales deep in the bay, while many bird species have also announced their return.
Meanwhile, the lumpfish season is still ongoing, keeping part of our crew busy aboard our fishing vessel Aþena — just as it does every spring before the high season begins and our full focus shifts to the wildlife of our beloved Skjálfandi Bay.
