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 sailed from the old harbor in Reykjavík on Rósin, with the sun shining. Even though the wind was picking up, we were sheltered by the mountains, and the waves did not pick up.

The last day of this week started being sunny and warm.

This morning the sea was calm as a lake. On the way out harbour porpoises could be seen far away because the good conditions. Before getting to the feeding ground of the whales, we found several pods of white beaked dolphins. 

This morning the wind stayed slow and the sea was calm at the bay of Faxaflói. On the way out, the course set to north west, the bird life was at a minimum until we came to the feeding ground of the whales.

There we saw up to four minke whales come up in different direction around the ship.

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!
