A last day to remember

So today is the final day of my adventure in Skalfandi Bay, tomorrow I move to Reykjavik and will be staying their for the remainder of my placement.
And the last day certainly did not disappoint, (the morning trip anyway), the whale Snow White is the last whale in the bay and put on a little show for us. How nice!
He was doing some incredible surface feeding extremely close to the boat, I have a picture of surface feeding from a while ago that you may remember but that was at a fair distance away. This was so much closer and so much more awesome.
Right away Snowy lunged up beside the boat, I wasn't quick enough to snap the immediate lunge but I did catch his head come crashing down!


Here he is rolling over in the water and you can actually get a peek at his underside.

Here's the highlight!

You can even see the whale pushing water out of its mouth to filter the water away from the food!
Thanks for reading!
