#GoodNews for the moment, after a dramatic struggle (it's not yet sure if the ill whale will recover and find a place in the North Atlantic) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/27/whale-stranded-germany-free-rescue

Even if it's only a first success, it shows: these people helping a #whale are among the real heroes in our world. These are people who try to make our world a better place to live in; they strive and work together.

We actually had the chance to see a Blue Whale. At least the back of it. It was only a boat length away. I was impressed how absolutely huge these animals are. I knew they are huge, but to see one just 30 meters away is an amazing experience.

The guide said It is absolutely rare to meet a Blue Whale on these tours and I tend to believe that :)

Also there were a lot more humpback whales.

One day we made a whale watching tour from the small harbor town of Húsavik. That day it rained. A lot. By far the most rainy day of our visit in Iceland. But the whale watching guys were prepared and we got these surprisingly heavy rain coats.

The tour itself was amazing. We saw a lot of Dolphins, multiple Humpback Whales, who really put on a show, and an actual Blue Whale, which is super rare on these tours.
