And then we’re off! We explore the fjord keeping a good lookout for various bird species and seals. Our guides will be sure to tell stories of history, folklore, and life in a small town close to the arctic circle. During the summer, we can expect to see many sea birds including Oystercatchers, Arctic Terns, Eider ducks and of course the curious colony of seals who call Ísafjörður their home.
