We headed out in typical Icelandic winter weather this morning, with some rain, snow and wind! We sailed towards Hafnarfjörður once more and found 2 humpback whales hanging around the harbour, as in the previous days - success! They even did synchronised dives! Due to increasing winds, the afternoon tour ended up being cancelled.

Throughout the day, we experienced all kinds of weather, from hail to a full snowstorm and sunshine, but our efforts were rewarded with incredible sightings. In the morning, we encountered 4 humpback whales! In the afternoon we found 2 humpback whales in the same area, this time lunge feeding -a spectacular sight for us al!

After 2,5 days of cancelled tours, we sailed out towards Hafnarfjörður in the afternoon and soon saw huge blows coming up from the surface. We had found a total of 3 humpback whales (one of which was our friend Pongo)! There was one pair very actively lunge feeding together under a large flock of northern gannets!
