Icelandic landscape with Orcas

On a one-week whale watching tour in Iceland in winter, after two unsuccessful tries, we finally saw orcas where they paraded around in front of our harbor and psoed for postcard shots like this in front of a famous Icelandic landmark at Grundarfjörður.

  Yeah, it was the funniest thing with my narwhal photos - I put them all in a special file, together with the unicorn and Loch Ness Monster photos, and one day I discovered that the file had been deleted! What a shame.
  Yes, I would love to see a narwhal too, if I saw a tour company offerring even a reasonable chance to see narwhals I would book it on the spot! Posted 8 years ago
