Kvænangen: Orcas & Skjervøy
Tue

Kvænangen has given us plenty of beauty the last couple of days. But we had not yet seen much of the famous orcas, other than a very brief and distant sighting two days ago. Maybe today? This would be our third and last attempt. It is not that everything comes easily and for free in the the far north. Well, the two previous whalewatching excursions had been beautiful – with humpback and fin whales – but we were still hoping for orcas.
And we did see them today. What an incredible morning!
Later we went and had a look at Skjervøy, the metropolis of the Kvænangen area. The first harbour where the Fram came back to civilisation in 1896 after her famous drift across the Arctic Ocean. Good to stretch legs a bit!
