After two days of break we finally sailed out again - having our hopes high and sea conditions that we couldn’t even dream of. It didn’t took us more than 30min to find our first cetaceans and these were White-Beaked dolphins!! This species belongs to north atlantic and Icelandic waters are considered as the best place in the world to see them. They are not regular visitors in our fjord, especially not that deep south so we were naturally wondering if they are maybe looking for shelter from predators. The pod was 5-10 individuals including younger individuals. They were very relaxed and few times came very close by the boat. We left them and sailed out further but it started to snow very heavily and the visibility was almost none. We sailed all the way beyond Hrisey hoping for better weather but this time we were not able to spot anything more. The snowfall and fog made it very difficult to spot animals so we decided to give complimentary tickets to everyone.
