Humpback whale set up home near harbour in Iceland for three weeks delighting tourists and locals

Love This

Credit: SWNS / Asa Steinars  A humpback whale has been spotted frolicking around a harbour in Iceland for the last three weeks.  Locals in Hafnarfjörður - which lies 10km south of Reykjavík - have been "lining up on the harbour" to see the spectacle.   Asa captured close up videos of the whale as it sprayed air out of its blow hole - just metres from the onlookers standing at the edge of the harbour.   The whale - thought to be a young male - is estimated to be 20 feet long and locals have been deciding what to call him.
