Golden Blade

We watch in excitement as a small black tip rises out of the ocean beside us. Like a blade slicing through the water, it catches the golden light of an all-day dawn sun.

A moment later, the magnificent body of the orca bursts from the surface with a blast of air and spray before gliding gracefully back into the depths. Seeing these beautiful creatures swimming alongside us feels like pure magic, an experience both humbling and deeply privileged.

Our first day out on the water in Skjervøy was filled with similar encounters: orcas, humpback whales, and even the elusive fin whales, the second-largest creature on Earth. This is a truly special place, both breathtaking and unforgiving, and I feel so grateful to be here.
