One of the most amazing mammals in the world! which holds the record for the biggest animal in history, the mammal with the longest migration, the deepest-diving mammal and one that is capable of emitting the loudest noise in nature, as loud as a jet engine (150 db). Elding offers you a chance to see some of these awesome creatures in their natural habitat, with your own eyes! In the world there are about 90 different kinds of cetaceans, or whales , dolphins and porpoises, that have been recognised and registered as a special breed.

In the last 10 years, there have been about 10 new kinds of cetaceans discovered.

In the Icelandic waters it is possible to find over 20 different cetaceans. Icelandic waters cover areas from the cold arctic sea in the north, to the warmer north atlantic ocean, south of the country. The two mixing currents and the long summer daylight are constantly providing a good environment for the plankton and the krill, combined with the depth of the bay at 20-30 metres, it makes an extreamly favourable feeding area for the whales.
