Today was a very busy day in the east fjords of Iceland. All enthusiastically made the most of the perfect weather to explore the region’s hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. A hardy group of guests rode e-mountain bikes deeper into the back country for a new perspective of the region. While guests were ogling the thousands of puffins along the shoreline, the undersea team went for a dive near the steep cliffs of Borgarfjörður. They found a vibrant kelp forest below the calm surface waters. Tall Laminaria kelp was the primary player in this kelp forest with sea stars, comb jellies, flat fish, and many other creatures filmed for the guest recap later in the evening.
