\nToday fin whales<\/a> were constantly travelling. Did you know that baleen whales (Balaenopteridae)<\/i> are among the fastest cetaceans?? Their hydrodynamic body shape allows them to travel up to 25 miles per hour (~50 km\/h)! Travelling thousands of miles between their breeding and feeding grounds becomes easier with these speeds.<\/div>\n
\nFurthermore, we found a curious loggerhead turtle<\/a> and a playful group of common dolphins<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe have great news today! Analyzing our humpback whale<\/a> photos of this season, we’ve found that one of the whales sighted last month, has been sighted here also last year! Probably it was travelling north, as it was seen again in July and September 2016 in Iceland, where food for them should be available in summer.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWith our daily work we are discovering step by step a little bit more about our gentle giants. <\/div>\n
