All Icelandic shores have a view to marine wildlife in general, but southern and western coasts have always been the tourists' favourite stopover for their humpback whales and some blue whales. Especially in Skjalfandi Bay and Eyjafjördur Fjord in the North, along the Snaefellnes Peninsula in the West and Grindavik in the East. When searching for cetacaes, you might also find dolphins, porpoises, fin whales and sperm whales. Lastly, you might frequently find grey seals lazying in the sun on beaches.
