More Whale pictures.

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.

Schlafende Pottwale

Ach du Schreck, ich sitze in einem U-Boot und vor dem Bullauge schweben einfach riesige, schlafende Pottwale senkrecht im Wasser! 🤯 Ich trage zwar eine Rettungsweste, aber die brauche ich gerade nicht – ich halte die Luft an vor... Bewunderung. So 'ne kranke, surreale Szene! Müsste eigentlich 'nen coolen Spruch bringen, aber ehrlich? Ich hab grad fast 'nen Tränen-Anfall. Das ist zu episch. 🐳🚢 #WhaleWatching #pottwal #azoren #terceira #plushies

Remembering Wisp

The loss of young humpback troublingA small group of Lions Bay residents gathered at Kelvin Grove Beach on Thursday to mark the death of a young humpback whale. The whale's body was found near Keats Island on October 26, and is being investigated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The Marine Education and Research Society (MERS) identified the whale as Wisp (BCY1464), a whale born in 2021 to Ghost (BCX1333). A Hello Ferry reported striking a whale the previous week, but MERS indica
