Killer Whales in Reykjavík Iceland 13.3.17 - Elding Adventure at Sea
From our whale diary:
Report from Eldey: We knew from the morning that our ride was going to be cold and bumpy, but we were prepared ! We put everyone in full-body suits to protect from the cold, and we proposed sea-sickness to anyone willing to be on the safe side. What we were not prepared for, though, was how incredible this tour was going to be ! We went straightforward to the area where we saw the feeding dolphins earlier in the morning, but there was no cetaceans there. Still, we caught sight of numerous splashes and when coming closer we could see hundreds of northern gannets diving in the water, hunting fishes. We stayed a little bit to enjoy from very close their aerial displays, until our first mate Otto spotted a large blow in the distance, that lead us to a humpback whale, the second of the year ! It was at first tricky to get closer since it was taking dives that lasted for what felt like an eternity and only surfacing once before diving down again. Our fish finder indicated there was fish below us close to the bottom, so we assumed this individual as busy feeding under the water. We remained patient and attentive, until we could have close encounter right in front of the boat ! After that the whale was on the move, surfacing quicker and more often. We eventually left this humpback and started to go back home because time was due. Then a miraculous even happened: as were closing in toward Reykjavik, we hit the jackpot and 5 KILLER WHALES (the firsts of 2017) surfaced next to us and followed us for more than 10 minutes ! There was 3 males with an impressively tall dorsal fin and 2 splendid manners. They were surfacing nicely and slowly, allowing the capture of breathtaking pictures. On some occasions they came less than 20 m from the boat and went under the boat, and also did a little bit of tail-slapping for our greatest joy. It was a moment of sheer excitement and pure bliss, with a hysterical crew and cheerful passengers ! The orcas disappeared as we neared the lighthouse Grótta, and the trip ended with everyone head over heels.

24 Hours in Reykjavik - What to See and Do on a Layover in Iceland | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids
Welcome to Reykjavík Iceland!
With a 24-hour daylight in summer and more than 40 festivals, Reykjavik is the new city that never sleeps. The world's most northerly capital has a population of only 120,000, but what it lacks in people it makes up for in culture. Reykjavik is located on a peninsula shaped like a dragon's head and is tucked into a sheltered bay in south-west Iceland filled with dramatic views of the adjacent mountains across the water to the north.
Reykjavík's name is derived from the Icelandic words for smoke, reykur, and bay, vík. Legend says that in the year 874, Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson, who was in fact its first inhabitant, saw Iceland rising out of the misty sea and came ashore at a bay steamed by hot springs in the vicinity of present day Reykjavík. Today most of the houses in Reykjavík are heated by near-boiling water from the hot springs and because of this natural heating there is no air pollution. You may notice, however, that the hot water brings a slight sulfur smell to the bathroom. Ingólfur is honored with a statue on a small hill called Arnarhóll in the middle of Reykjavík.
The best way to explore Reykjavik in its full light is to experience Iceland's pure thermal energy and take a dip in one of Reykjavík's many thermal pools and spas! It’s a great source of natural therapy and an important part of Icelandic culture and a tonic for the body and mind!

Iceland - Blue Lagoon
The most famous lagoon in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon and it's geothermal waters are the perfect place to unwind from a day of adventure around the island.
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular attractions. The geothermal waters and black volcanic rocks create startling scenery that is truly unique to Iceland. The water is full of minerals, silica and algae and is especially good for the skin and relaxation. In addition to soaking and swimming in the pool, the Blue Lagoon offers in-water massage treatments, saunas and steam rooms and access to a cafe. A few hours of relaxation soaking in the Blue Lagoon is essential to any Iceland visit, and its location between Reykjavik and the airport makes it an easy addition to any trip.
