Humpbacks, minke and sperm whales can be seen in the fjords and off the coast of northern Norway. The Vesterålen coast is best for whales during the summer whereas Tromso is better in winter. If you've always wanted to witness the humbling sight of humpback and killer whales in the wild then Norway, in the fjords to the north of Tromso, is one of the best places in the world to do just that. Find out what attracts killer whales to Norway, what's the best time of year to watch whales and what you can do to help turn traditional Norwegian practices into sustainable tourism tours that benefit whales and their environment, just as much as travellers. Norwegian killer whales are resident whales but move a lot within the fjord system searching for herring; in all they spend approximately 40 percent of their time travelling. Some orcas in Norway use a technique called "carousel feeding", in which the whales work together to bring a school of herring close to the surface and then circle around the herring to panic them into a tighter and tighter ball. The whales then slap their massive tail flukes through the school so that the herring are stunned or killed and picked off at leisure. Late October to the middle of January is the best time to watch humpback and killer whales between Kvaløya and Andøya, although it is also possible to see sperm whales from Andøya during the summer.” Don't buy a ticket, go whale watching instead. @respectanimalrights © 📷 @orcaguide Tony Meyer Big orca male up close. #nikon #tamron #fjord #tonymeyerphotography #orcaguide #norway #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #orca #orcanorway #killerwhale #wildlife #nature #whalewatchers #whalewatching #swimmingwithorcas #wildandfree https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQEPTxgZle/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=151vjxnuhyamn
