The waiting game

It's been four days since we got to go on the boats. We've had very strong winds, nearly constant rain and yesterday quite a bit of snow. But today the weather has gotten much better and there is even a chance a boat will be going out later today, this is very exciting news. 

I took a picture of the mountain behind Húsavík (with my phone, thus the quality) so you can see how winter is well and truly on it's way here!

Also after the last boat trip I realised that I did not inform you of something interesting that happened! We saw two humpback whales close up and both of them were happy to perform some tail acrobatics, both were fluke slapping the water and one was lob-tailing (lifting the fluke into the air and leaving it there like a flagpole). I got an excellent shot of the lob-tailing, but not the slapping unfortunately.

The keenest of readers (or researchers) will recognise this fluke as the fluke of snow white, thanks snowy!

Thanks for reading!
