More Orca in Faxafloi!

Once again we've had a bit of an enforced break, an awful lot of dry tours all around our bay. Yesterday the tour went out and saw a humpback whale in Keflavik (though I wasn't onboard) and so today we set out from the same spot. But as soon as we set off we heard that another tour company had just spotted Orca just outside Reykjavik, typical!

So we headed straight for the Orca! The sailing was pretty perfect, the sea was very smooth and the visibility was excellent!

We saw around 4 Orca; there was 2 big males, 1 female and 1 very young Orca. Possibly a calf!

Time to let the pictures do the talking!

Notice the hump in the dorsal of the Orca, they develop this at 16 years of age. This guy was quite large so he seems to be a fairly old individual.

Passengers in the foreground, snaefellsnes in the background. Awesome!

Here the dorsal has a different hump, this time in the the top of the dorsal.

A better look at the second male.

This is my favourite of the group from today!

A pic of the little one!

Thanks for reading!
