20 years ago, we took a boat out of Húsavík, and watched Minke Whale (
Balaenoptera acutorostrata) along with a varied and diverse selection of sea-birds. On this visit, our 3hr boat trip turned up Humpback Whale (
Megaptera novaeangliae) with up to four individuals observed. However, bird-wise it was somewhat quiet with Puffin (
Fratercula arctica) and Fulmar (
Fulmarus glacialis) thin on the ground (err .. thin on the sea?).
