We set off this morning excited to find wildlife. At one point we were surrounded by what felt like 100s of black legged kittiwakes and sooty shearwaters. We found two solo white-beaked dolphins and a minke whale! Sailing out again this afternoon, we found 6 minke whales and a small pod of 8 harbour porpoises around the islands near Reykjavik.

Before we even left the harbour, we saw our first northern lights! They were faint to start, but soon stretched across the whole sky. They were dancing above us and all around us, fading sometimes and then growing stronger again.
