Our first day of exploring Iceland was a memorable one as the weather gods smiled in our favor. Guests enjoyed fantastic conditions at Flatey, which translates to flat (flat) ey (island), or flat island. While guests viewed their first Atlantic puffins of the voyage and learning about life on this tiny island, the undersea team explored the nearby depths. The waters around Flatey are teeming with life from kelp forests to large cod to the nearby grey seals. Rounding out the day, we were all fortunate to enjoy a beautiful sunset with a very acrobatic whale, which we were able to identify as Floki using HappyWhale, a whale ID database. He spent a considerable amount of time breaching, slapping the water with his considerable flippers, and tail slapping under the gorgeous evening light. What a fantastic start to our voyage!
