We had one trip out of Ólafsvík in the morning today, and were, once again, spoiled with a lot of Minke whale sightings. We got to see several individuals really close to the boat, and spotted them lunging through the mackerel at a distance. We also got some brief looks at fast-moving harbour porpoises. Marie (Spotter)

On our tours out of Hólmavík we had three species seen, with the large number of humpback whales still deep feeding in the deep water around the island of Grimsey, as well as long-finned pilot whales and white-beaked dolphins around. Judith (Tour guide)
