Another beautiful sunny day in Eyjafjörður. Some clouds were blocking the sun at times, but it wasn’t bad. We didn’t need to travel long, since we met our first humpback whale the East of Hjalteyri. It was swimming around us, coming up quite frequently which was nice. We stayed with it for a while in search of something else.

We were succesfull! On the North of Hjalteyri we found a second humpback whale. It was surface feeding so we got to see it’s head a few times coming up to the surface. It even came close to us to get to know us better several times. It continued the surface feeding the whole time we stayed with it.

Humpback whale wasn’t the only cetacean we met to day. There was also three Minke whales around Green buoy. One of them gave us a great surprise by surface feeding! It is not every day we get to see them eating close to the surface.
