18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Whale Fluke

One thing at the top of the Icelandic adventure list was whale watching. What better place to go than the whale watching capital of Iceland! Húsavík is way up in northern Iceland and well worth the trip. We saw several humpback whales as well as dolphins and puffins. For as big as the whales are, there is such grace in their movements. Seeing that fluke break through the water is exhilarating every single time.
