On the Calm Waters North of Húsavik

From the archive: Four years ago, I visited Iceland. We were so lucky – almost no rain, decent temperatures and even some sun! And, among volcanos, horses, and whales, some birds. On a whale watching tour departing from Húsavik, on the northern coast, I met my first puffins. Most of them at long distance, though, but who cares – I saw lots of puffins! (And humpbacks!) On August 12, 2011.

In the harbor of Húsavik, this female eider kept her eye on everything. Of course, eiders are not as exotic as puffins, but the sea was incredibly calm and the reflections in the water pretty amazing.
