25. Juni 2022

Sailing along the arctic circle

First night in Iceland, in the fjord of Neskaupstadur - first thing was a visit to the hot pool :-)

The stove ist running most of the time when we are not sailing

Finally a nice day again

Nearing Raufarhöfn, one of the rare moments without fog. A relieving moment after engine troubles around the dangerous headland of Langanes with it's strong currents

Fishing harbour of Raufarhöfn, no other sailing boats

Noisy duck families swimming around the boat the whole night

A short hike to the cliffs

In many rocks there are small crystal inclusions

Baby duck in the beach surf

Lighthouse on the north coast of Iceland

Evening stroll

There is no place without seeing a bird

Heading against the current to Grimsey, an island on the arctic circel

Again the only sailing boat in the harbour

The further north, the bigger the tire fenders are...

Walking 15km around the island of Grimsey

Birds even on the streets

Around 100'000 puffin couples nesting on Grimsey

There is almost no meter without a puffin

There ar not really scared and you can walk up pretty close

Puffin with many small fishes in his beak

Not a puffin ;-)

Arctic circle marker

The marker is moved every year, because the arctic circle moves also

More puffins

And more puffins

For once no puffin

But more here...

...and here

Razor-billed auks

Curious puffin

They are very relaxed and you can walk 2m to them

Auks and puffins together

Basalt columns

Colonies of aggresiv arctic terns

They even attack the sheeps when they get to close to the nests. Ben was even pecked by one in the head

Southern lighthous of Grimsey

Whales all around us

Hunting for fishes

Dolphins jumping out of the water

Just for fun

Fast jumping dolphin

Humpback whale

Fishermen unloading the fishes

And putting them on ice
