The Icelandic Whale Watching Association (IceWhale) offers an awesome illustrated guide to identifying the whales you’re likely to see on an Iceland ProCruise or Iceland ProTravel journey around Iceland.

Quotable quote: “Icelandic waters cover areas from the cold Arctic sea in the north, to the warmer north Atlantic Ocean in the south. The two mixing currents, the long summer daylight, combined with the relatively shallow waters, makes an extremely favorable feeding area for the whales. Around Iceland, it is possible to find over 20 different species, 8 of which are frequently seen on whale watching tours.”
