This morning the bay was calm as a lake, the Snæfellsnes peninsula wore its Sunday best and the its glacier showed its kingdom. Heading for the feeding ground of the whale we found gathering of birds, a display of the seabirds that frequent the bay, where we slowed down the observe.
Although a bit cloudier today compared to the last days, it was warm and mild out there. Hardly any winds, which happens seldom. The visibility was great, one could see “Snæfellsjökull” (please pronounce), the glacier on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula really well as well as Keflavik far away in the distance. The clouds gave us a great image ahead.
We were treated to another super flat day out in faxafloi bay with a shining sun and clear mirrorlike seas and all four different species of whale!
It was a fantastically calm day with soo many whales and jumping white beaked dolphins
During the 17 pm tour we had a nice meeting with two Humpback whales. It was an AMAZING day!
Beautiful morning out on sea 🙂 flatt sea and a great visibility made it possible to see whales at a lot of different places in Faxafloi Bay. We encountered 6-8 different Minke Whales but there were more of them around. One Minke Whale joined us and surfaced only 20m from our boat appearing with his mouth first and showing us all of his beauty.
Today the thick clouds hanging from the grey sky coated the naked mountains that enclose Faxafloi bay and, although it was a bit misty, we could appreciate the green new grasses growing at the basis of the majestic convexities of the scenery. It seems summer finally reached Iceland!
Whale watching Andrea 9 am
It was a foggy and rainy morning in Reykjavik so everything looked very mystical.
Wonderful sightings in this early sunny Monday. Since we left the harbour and got closer to the Whale Fjord we have been very busy spotting whales constantly, as well as numerous groups of seabirds. We spotted around ten different Minke whales, who were swimming and feeding in the very productive waters of the bay.
Minke Whales, dolphins and lots of puffins
