EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this epic shot captured by Mark Carwardine, these Type 1 North-east Atlantic Killer whales are showing off their incredible surfing skills off the coast of Snaefellsnes Peninsula. These majestic creatures, also known as Orcas or Orca whales, are putting on quite the show as they gracefully surface from the icy waters. With their sleek black and white bodies glistening under the January sun, it's hard not to be mesmerized by their beauty and power. As they ride the waves with finesse and precision, it's clear that these oceanic dolphins know how to have some serious fun! The cold waters of the Arctic Ocean provide the perfect playground for these intelligent mammals. With each surfacing moment, they display remarkable animal behavior that reminds us just how fascinating nature can be. From their playful jumps to synchronized dives, every move is a testament to their adaptability in this marine environment. So next time you find yourself near western Iceland's stunning coastline, keep an eye out for these magnificent creatures catching waves like true pros.
