Whales in the news.

There are several species of whale that live and migrate through the waters of the Norwegian coast, they can most often be viewed from boats at northern locations along the coast. It is not however very common to spot these beautiful creatures from Bergen and especially not from the the fish market at the city centre harbour....but a few weeks ago to everyones suprise a pod of around 50 pilot whales decided to visit. You can see the pictures and a report in the local newspaper here....
