A large group of pilot whales ran aground on the south west coast of Iceland, but was rescued. This video shows a couple of men out in the ocean trying to turn the beached whales in the correct direction. Further out a whale watching ship from Elding (pictures) along with a smaller fishing boat where trying to herd the whales back to sea. According to Elding’s account, the rescue was successful as they’ve been observing the flock on recent trips.
The people of Grundarfjörður, a small town on the north side of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland have witnessed a whale frenzy for the past few days. Around 20 orcas have been feeding right at the harbor opening. A lot of herring is in the fjord and the whales are not going hungry.
