Bottlenosed whales still in main role!
Northern bottlenosed whales have now been in main role in Skjálfandi Bay for few weeks. These peculiar whales are perhaps not the easiest whales to watch as they can dive for a long time and swim very fast. But if you get close to them you might be lucky to get a good show as they tend to jump like dolphins, which they are actually quite related to.
