Longer days are coming fast and we already feel the difference in the north. Lately we're seeing humpback whales on all our tours and the tours have been nothing but fantastic!

SHORT BEAKED COMMON DOLPHIN IN THE FJORD!! Breaking news from our fjord with the sighting of a very rare species in Icelandic waters! Short-beaked common dolphins are one of the most present and familiar dolphins in the world. They are very social and widely distributed, preferring warm tropical waters, primarily offshore. This is the first time this year we see this species in the area and only second time in the history - first recorded encounter of them this far north has only happened last summer in our fjord. We are very excited about seeing this species but it's also not necessarily a good sign to see one dolphin alone in such unusual area. We will monitor the situation and keep you updated! So far it's been seen just outside of Akureyri for 2 days now. 📷 Gisela @ocean.ela_ & Mac @macmurfitt #iceland #icelandicnature #icelandicwildlife #icelandicphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #elding #sailing #ocean #sea #whale #whales #dolphins #dolphin #icelandic #naturephotography #discoverwildlife #natgeowild #wildlifephotography #akureyri #north #commondolphins #fjord #eyjafjordhumpbacks #travel #marinewildlife #marinebiology #rare #adventure

Las aves pertenecientes al género Fratercula, comúnmente conocidas como puffins o frailecillos, son especies marinas características del hemisferio norte, destacadas por su singular morfología y comportamiento. El término "Fratercula", derivado del latín, significa "pequeño fraile", denota su aspecto físico, reminiscente de un religioso de menor tamaño, evidenciado por su plumaje oscuro y blanco. Estas aves se distinguen por su estructura anatómica compacta, caracterizada por cuerpos redondeados y alas cortas pero robustas, óptimas para la navegación en aguas y vuelos ágiles. Su pico corto y robusto, adaptado para la captura de peces, indica su dependencia de esta fuente de alimento. A pesar de la longitud reducida de sus alas en comparación con otras especies marinas, los puffins exhiben habilidades de vuelo sobresalientes, capaces de alcanzar velocidades considerables en el aire. La migración es un fenómeno crucial en la vida de los puffins, quienes realizan impresionantes desplazamientos que abarcan vastas distancias. Durante la temporada invernal, se alejan de las costas para adentrarse en el océano, retornando en primavera a sus colonias de reproducción. Islandia destaca como uno de los principales hábitats de los puffins, albergando una población significativa de estas aves marinas. Sus escarpadas costas proporcionan condiciones idóneas para la anidación, con acantilados que sirven como sitios de cría y aguas ricas en peces, su principal sustento alimenticio. Además de Islandia, los puffins también frecuentan otras zonas del Atlántico Norte, incluyendo el norte de Europa y América del Norte, siendo Noruega, Canadá, Groenlandia y las Islas Feroe puntos de observación comunes. La dieta de los puffins se basa principalmente en peces, como arenques, bacalaos y eperlanos, siendo adeptos cazadores que realizan vuelos rasantes sobre el agua antes de sumergirse para atrapar a sus presas con precisión. Un aspecto fascinante de la biología de los puffins es su habilidad para excavar madrigueras en acantilados y suelos blandos, donde establecen nidos y crían a sus crías.

These beautiful pictures were taken by our naturalist Mac on the tours yesterday which can only be described with one word - incredible! So many whales, lots of close encounters with curious #humpback whales, perfect weather and dream sea conditions. A day to remember for the whole crew! Join us whale watching! We're sailing daily on big and small boats from Akureyri, the heart of the North. 📷Mac @macmurfitt #iceland #icelandicnature #icelandicwildlife #icelandicphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #elding #sailing #ocean #sea #whale #whales #humpbacks #humpbackwhales #naturephotography #discoverwildlife #natgeowild #wildlifephotography #akureyri #north #northoficeland #fjord #eyjafjordhumpbacks #travel #travelling #travelgoals #couplegoals #adventure

Ho fotografato tanti uccelli in islanda, ma questo stormo di oche selvatiche (Anser anser) che volavano nella zona di Snæfellsbær rimarrà il mio scatto preferito. Questo volatile viene chiamato anche oca cenerina ed è l’antenata dell’oca domestica europea. - #photography #naturalistphotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #icealnd #icelandicwildlife #bird #sea #animals

Chroicocephalus ridibundus Sopra le spiagge ventose di Snæfellsbær volavano un paio di esemplari di black-headed gull, dei gabbiani molto comuni in islanda così come in gran parte dell’Europa. Il caratteristico piumaggio nero della testa che hanno gli adulti è presente solo in estate, difatti in inverno diventano bianchi. - #photography #naturalistphotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #icealnd #icelandicwildlife #bird #blackheadedgull #sea

Did you know that Humpback whales can hold their breath up to 55min? These huge gentle animals can move with a speed of 25km/h and on average surfacing every 5-15min so 55min it's an impressive record! 2 Humpback whales today! #iceland #icelandicnature #icelandicwildlife #icelandicphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #elding #sailing #ocean #sea #whale #whales #humpbacks #humpbackwhales #icelandic #naturephotography #discoverwildlife #natgeowild #wildlifephotography #akureyri #north #northoficeland #fjord #eyjafjordhumpbacks #travel #travelling #travelgoals #couplegoals #adventure

Adapted. ⁠ ⁠ Boreal winds shape white crystalline landscapes.⁠ Over fields of sculpted ice, sheered and torn. ⁠ Winter is a challenge, a marathon. ⁠ ⁠ -50 degrees Celsius. That's the general limit of what an Arctic fox can endure in winter months. It's only possible though due to their incredibly high density fur coat, which is one of the thickest in the animal kingdom. Some 70-90 thousand hairs per square centimeter. ⁠ ⁠ Compare that to the average human head, which has 100-150 hairs per square centimeter. The difference is crazy!⁠ ⁠ Did you know Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in Northwest Iceland has the highest concentration of Arctic Foxes in Iceland? This image was captured during an trip with my friends at @boreaadventures to a remote house on the reserve, built before the landscape was converted to a reserve. ⁠ ⁠ It's such a wild, remote, and raw location. Can't wait to get back here in the summer!⁠ ⁠ #arcticfox #iceland #icelandicnature #animal #donalboyd #hornstrandir #icelandicwildlife #wildlife

From one frame to the next, Eyjafjordur's scenery is almost asking to be captured in pictures. Surfacing humpback whales in a silent moment of still water, surrounded by beautiful snow, remind us that every image tells a story here.

Back from Iceland with fresh additions to my 'Magic Island' series, captured last March. 🇮🇸 Each time I'm out there photographing these Icelandic horses, I'm swept away by the deep emotional connection. That last trip? Just four days and it flew by too fast with all the ideas I've got. Definitely planning a return soon. Do these shots resonate with you? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #SashaElage #MagicIslandSeries #IcelandAdventures #PhotographyPassion #HorsesOfIceland #IcelandicHorses #EmotionalPhotography #NaturePhotography #TravelPhotography #ModernPhotography #AdventureAwaits #LandscapeLove #WanderlustIceland #DiscoverIceland #ExploreIceland #OutdoorPhotography #IcelandicBeauty #icelandhorse #IcelandicHorses #IcelandicWildlife #Icelandichorses #icelandhorses🇮🇸💙 #horsesoficeland #IcelandPhotography

On a cloudy day in Iceland's longest fjord, Eyjafjordur - a Humpback whale rises up, breaking the peaceful water with its breath. Watching this whale feels like the time slows down for a moment and reminds us how amazing nature is. It's moments like these that make us appreciate sailing here even more. 📷Mac #iceland #icelandicnature #icelandicwildlife #icelandicphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #elding #sailing #ocean #sea #whale #whales #humpbacks #humpbackwhales #icelandic #naturephotography #discoverwildlife #natgeowild #wildlifephotography #akureyri #north #northoficeland #fjord #eyjafjordhumpbacks #travel #travelling #travelgoals #couplegoals #adventure

The awe-inspiring Icelandic horses. These beauties, known for their power and grace, shine amidst the spectacular Icelandic landscapes. It was wonderful seeing the juxtaposition between their wild spirits and the dramatic backdrop of their homeland. I fell in love with their fluffy manes, expressive eyes, and the freedom they embody 🐴🐎🇦🇨 #IcelandicHorses #NaturePhotography #natureismagic #natureismytherapy #europeanadventures #icelandictravel #icelandadventures #nature_captures #wildlifephotography #ipulledoverforthis #everything_imaginable_ #raw_allnature #naturecaptures #earthoutdoors #renegade_rural #naturelovers #epic_captures #natureshooters #icelandscape #icelandicadventure #loaded_lenses #beyondthelands_ #icelandicadventures #icelandcoast #icelandicwildlife #horsephotography #icelandichorses

Spring is a great time to experience a little bit of winter wonder, without all the inconvenience of the deep winter season. This time of year there is less ice and snow than in winter, so driving conditions are often better. Frosty, glistening winter scenes can usually still be seen, but you'll get enough daylight hours to explore too! #springiniceland #iceland #icelandtravel #IcelandicNature #icelandicnaturetours #icelandicwildlife #wildiceland #puffin #puffiniceland

The first Lóa has been spotted in Iceland a couple of weeks ago, apparently I missed the announcement! I can’t wait to photograph these beautiful birds again though, the Lóa, or golden plover as it’s known in English is definitely one of my favourite birds! #birds #birdphotography #photooftheday #photography #loa #loabird #icelandbird #icelandicwildlife
