点评:My husband and I loved this adventure off Iceland's beautiful Snaefellsnes Peninsula. I already had five layers on before we boarded but everyone was outfitted with bright blue waterproof overalls, which we needed given the blustery winds and chilly temperatures. As the boat headed out into the ocean, the guides reminded us that we were not going to a zoo or an aquarium; that this was the whales' natural world and that there were no guarantees of seeing any. We all scoured the horizon for any signs that whales were nearby. And then we were rewarded after about ninety minutes. The boat slowed to a crawl or stopped as we watched awestruck at several dozen orcas on the hunt for dinner. We were close enough to hear them breathe through their blowhole when they surfaced. These animals are magnificent. It was a reminder of how a healthy ecosystem --clean air, clean water and sustainable fishing-- benefits us all.
