Arrive Akureyri

Another amazing trip up a fjord this morning. This time to the city of
Akureyri. It's the largest city in northern Iceland, and its roots go back
at least as far as 1602, which makes it old by Icelandic standards. One of
the big industries here is fish processing, but the tourism and recreational
business are also important economically. I'm told we passed the best
downhill skiing area in Iceland on our way in.

Throughout the day we'll let people on board to visit the ship, and meet one
on one with some of the locals. There's also a big university here. Some of
the students have shown interest in hearing our side of the whaling debate,
and comparing it with the whaler's.
