Every year Skjálfandi Bay in northern Iceland is visited by many humpback whales who visit the bay to feast on the abundance of krill, plankton and small fish.
In the summer months it is light almost 24 hours a day which means that the evening trips sometimes have beautiful light and this can create an almost fairy tale atmosphere.
On this particular evening, the sea was very calm, there was hardly any wind and the low sun created a beautiful palette of colors. This humpback whale just exhaled vigorously before diving back down for another bite of food.
The whales in the bay spend about 20 hours a day eating and this goes on 7 days a week and for months at a time. The whales have to eat so much (about 1000kg p/day) because they don't eat during their migration to warmer waters. They only eat when they return to their feeding grounds. This means that they can go up to 5 months without food.
Lived in Amsterdam, but decided in 2018 to pursue his dreams. Currently lives and works in Tonga where he works for a whale snorkeling operator. Favorite are mainly wildlife photography with a great passion for whales and tigers, as well as photographing people and "life". Can wait hours for that one shot, and then wait another day for a better shot. Has a very long and extensive to-do list of places to visit ;-)! Thank you very much for your interest and who knows, maybe a work of mine will soon be hanging on your wall.
