A Majestic Encounter with Icelandic Whales in the Fjords

Witnessing whales for the first time was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the incredible excursion with @getyourguide, the Icelandic fjords offered a breathtaking encounter with these magnificent creatures. It's an adventure you simply can't miss! I can still hear their songs in my head and feel the waves beneath me. The majesty of these creatures left us in awe as their massive bodies moved gracefully through the water. I felt so tiny next to them but also filled with wonder at their gentle presence. Such a privileged and unique moment. 🐳🌊😍🙌

This is a town famous for its fishing in northern Iceland and the oldest whale watching spot in Iceland. Ektafiskur is a very local factory that processes fish. I really love the boss of Ektafiskur, reason one, handsome and funny. Ektafiskur can be said to be a family workshop. Efforts have been made to maintain Icelandic traditional fish processing methods. Ektafiskur also has a caf, which is open in summer and serves mainly fresh local seafood. The ship at the entrance of the store is a traditional Viking ship. The first human being to live in Iceland was the Vikings without misunderstanding the various guides in English. For this, I read Ciaran Donnelly's complete Viking legend. In addition to providing delicious food, the store also helps nearby housewife sell all kinds of wool fabrics they have woven. Icelandic wool is famous for its warmth. Although the price of these handmade fabrics is not cheap, I bought two scarves. The triangular scarf is still rare. It is more valuable than buying 66 North. Although I still bought it. 66 hat. The price of the scarf is about 300 yuan. The second reason I love Ektafiskur's boss is that he has a group of very beautiful Icelandic horses~ and he has kept them on a very cool cliff. The weather was not particularly good that day, and the cliffs were full of fried chicken and cold rain. The Icelandic horse is the most pure-blooded horse on earth. Small and powerful.

Husavik is the whale watching capital of Europe. The shore is full of ships going out to sea. The snowy mountains in the distance are clearly visible, but the probability of seeing the opposite snow mountain is very low. Walking whales around the sea for about 2 hours, the boat has to go out for a while before going to the whale watching area. When whales appear, when the whales appear, the guides on the boat will shout, there are whales in some directions, although the reaction is not in which direction, but in which direction, everyone goes to that Just look at it. When the whale sprays water, there will be a rainbow, which is beautiful. The sea and the waves are relatively large. The friend who wants seasickness should eat seasickness medicine in advance. Sitting in the middle of the ship after boarding the ship, it will not be too swaying. Wearing: The wind and waves coming out of the sea are very big, so be sure to wear thick points. a thick autumn trousers and jeans, wearing a thick warm coat, a sweater, a down jacket and a cotton coat, wearing a thick wool hat, scarf and gloves, wearing a windproof dress and a boat Pants, a raincoat outside.

WE DROVE 3 HOURS FOR THIS VIEW!

WE DROVE 3 HOURS FOR THIS VIEW! Discovering Iceland’s Arctic Henge was like unlocking a celestial secret. In the quiet village of Raufarhöfn, this ongoing monument, built with precise astronomical alignment, reflects the dance of seasons and Northern Lights. The Arctic Henge invites reflection on our place in the world, blending ancient tales with modern dreams. It’s more than just rocks; it’s a bridge between history and today. Standing there, I felt part of something bigger and for once, small. #tripstars #2024wish #freehotelstay #thingstodo
