Research Reports
This report summarises the individual minke whales identified in Faxaflói Bay during the 2018 season. Using photo-identification of dorsal fins with distinctive notches, nicks, and shapes, we recorded both new and returning individuals. These findings help deepen our understanding of the local population’s presence, site fidelity, and movement patterns in the Reykjavík area.

This report presents an overview of individual humpback whales identified in Eyjafjörður during the 2016 season. Using photo-identification based on unique tail fluke patterns and distinctive scars, we were able to recognise returning individuals and document new ones. These records contribute to our understanding of site fidelity, movement patterns, and the broader life history of humpbacks visiting North Iceland.
