Skjálfandi Bay gave us our first humpback whale entry in the Ocean Journal today.
We spotted one humpback whale far out in the bay. It was a brief encounter , we saw the whale surface once before losing sight of it, without seeing its fluke. A few harbour porpoises were also spotted during the tour, although the encounter was brief and not everyone on board managed to see them.
Even with a short whale sighting, it was a beautiful April day to be out on the water. The mountains surrounding Skjálfandi Bay were particularly spectacular, making quite a backdrop as we searched the bay.
After several quiet early-season trips, it was wonderful to have a humpback whale back in our sightings log. 🐋
