What a day!
We sailed in windy, but overall fine conditions with small waves in Eyjafjörður.
Today, we encountered one feeding Minke Whale by the green buoy as well as several Harbor Porpoises along the way. We spotted two different Humpback Whales on our tours. One was seen by Svalbarðseyri as the other Humpback was spotted south of Hjalteyri.
We had an absolutely fantastic day and one of the Humpbacks, which we call Magnea, showed a range of behavior at the surface during our morning tour. We watched repeated tail slapping and tail throwing! The whale was quite close to us as this happened and we were thrilled to see this Humpback’s behavior as well as to hear the sound of the tail being slapped on the water surface. Just incredible!
