Whaletastic day in the fjörð! Even though you can clearly feel how winter is coming with the temperatures starting to drop. Today we had and amazing sunny day with extremely flat sea. But throughout the day we have had more than amazing encounters. All of the whales decided to stay on the south Hrísey area and we saw a total of 8-10 Humpback whales so many it was difficult to keep count, and that was of course without counting the blows we were also seeing on the distance. And they were simply surfacing but oh my, they were constantly coming out of the water, not even spending more than 5 minutes under. An in the afternoon we even saw a couple of our beloved locals Quasimodo and Dotty who have been seen in the fjörð since early 2017!
