Once again, a westerly wind was creating medium waves in the fjord, however, it decreased quickly into the afternoon, leaving little wind on our 1400 o’clock tours.

In the morning, we were able to find Magnea the Humpback Whale by Svalbarðseyri , a similar location to yesterday. We found her on both morning tours, but unfortunately, we were unable to find her in the afternoon. We also spotted a Minke Whale in the East opposite the Green Buoy and many many Harbour Porpoises throughout the whole fjord.

Further North we found a second Humpback Whale around Hjalteyri. Similarly to previous days, we observed the whale surface straining and single-breath fluking, frequently changing directions and seemingly feeding just below the surface.
