Polar circle precicely

Pål studies the flat island Grimsey, the most northerly part of Iceland, while Knut and Nils are watching out for whales.
We spotted two blue whales in these waters, an impressive giant that's been hunted down close to extinction.
All in all we saw 51 whales on the trip, of 5 different species. And I added 5 new bird species to my aggregated list as well! :-)
Also mark the instruments here, reading latitude N66º34.65' - the very arc second of the polar circle!
