Summer is coming…..

The last days have been really good for whale watching here in Skjálfandi Bay.

We have seen whales on all our trips and it is just really nice to see the increasing number of wildlife her in the bay.

We have been seeing more and more humpback and minke whales and on some tours, we also encountered white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises (the smallest whales in the North Atlantic).

Also the number of seabirds is definitely increasing and the puffins have already started the nesting season on Lundey (the Puffin Island). We have had some nice sightings of the largest seabird in the North Atlantic, the Northern Gannet, and some days ago we have spotted the first Arctic Terns, which is definitely a good sign that the summer has arrived.
