››MoreIn the blink of an eye, another month has flown by! While June's weather hasn't exactly been our favorite, it's been a fantastic month for whale sightings. Daily sightings have been incredible these last weeks as we observed playful dolphins, hungry humpback whales, minkes and the majesty of the sea: the blue whale.
››MoreThe beautiful humpback whales are a migratory species. They travel from tropical waters—their breeding grounds—to enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet in Skjálfandi Bay! The whales we see here belong to the North Atlantic population, and they come to us from places like the Caribbean Sea, the Dominican Republic, and West Africa.
