JANUARY WHALE WATCHING
Even though our whale watching season normally stretches from April-October, we are still open for special arrangements...Today a couple from Russia contacted us and wanted to go whale watching. Two hours later everything was organised and captain Kalli stood ready to bring them out on a private adventure on board our boat Aþena.

BIRD RESEARCH ABOARD OUR AÞENA
There is a lot of life in our bay also during the winter. Unusually many humpbacks have been seen this year as well as the winter resident sea birds.

SUCCESSFUL LATE SEASON
Autumn has arrived in Húsavík and new snow is covering the tops of the Kin mountains, straight across the bay from our fishing village. But despite the sometimes nippy air, the whales have still been many in our bay!Humpback whales are still around, coming and going – some of them really big.
