Killer Whale Expeditions 2005
During the end of the year from October through the winter,
one of the most spectacular whale happenings in the world is going
on in northern Norway. Let us at ArcticVoyager together with our co-partners
bring you out on a fabulous Killer whale and Sea
eagle expedition in the Lofoten and Tysfjord area.

Every year since 1986, around 500-700 killer whales concentrate
in these narrow fjords to eat of the huge amount of herring, which
arrive into the area to spend the winter. The very special hunting
technique by the Killer Whales, driving swarms of panicking herrings
towards the surface, smashing their tails hitting the fish and picking
eating them one by one is truly unique. At the same time flocks
of White tailed sea eagles gather over the Killer whales, to catch
the dead herrings floating up to the water surface. This dramatic
scenery framed into the Lofoten islands spectacular and rugged mountains
covered with new powder snow is just breath taking. The scientists
do not know for how long this phenomena will last, but this is a
unique opportunity to follow these mighty Whales closely. Nowhere
else in the world can you see so many Killer Whales so close to
the shore.
