The fishing town of Husavik on Iceland's north coast bills itself as the whale-watching capital of the country, set on a bay where humpbacks, minkes, and other giants gather to feed in summer.
Boats head out across Skjalfandi Bay in search of breaching and tail-slapping. Bundle up, as even the warm season stays brisk on the water.
