Finding Moby-Dick
I attented a whale-watching trip at Hauganes. Our boat full of cheering tourists got their money's worth: We saw one minke and few humpback whales. It was quite fascinating to see huge wild mammals in their natural environment. The whales weren't on a playful mood – they just made a quick appearance on the surface before diving. I didn't get any pictures but luckily managed to shoot some video.
We also tried fishing. It turned out be as easy as in a grocery store. The fishes were almost voluntarily jumping onboard :) Our catch was mostly cod but we also got herring and red fish.
This trip was a part of Icelandic Nature course. It's pretty nice to get school credits for trips like this :)
