Cave Tours Suspended at this Time
Cave tours are suspended at this time. We do not have a current opening date but hope to resume by mid spring. Please continue to check this website for updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Bonus 4G signal range as we round one of Norway's outer island bits right now just to say that we did see the aurora from our balcony last night but, more spectacularly for us, today we saw an orca surface about fifty metres from our balcony. Anyway, Leknes tomorrow, but a shorter visit than planned to avoid the worst of a strengthening wind. More when we're ashore.
Majestätisch, hochintelligent und furchteinflößend: Orcas polarisieren wie kaum ein anderes #Tier. Sind die #Meeressäuger erbarmungslose Killer oder faszinierende Familienwesen? Die preisgekrönte Unterwasserkamerafrau Christina Karliczek Skoglund taucht nach "Geister der Arktis" mitten "Unter Orcas", in die vielfach noch unerforschte Welt der Giganten.

NEW BABY ORCA!!! Only a few days to weeks old.
The orca is the great-grandbaby of *one* Orca named Wake who was one of 6 orcas captured by Sea World in 1976 to be put on display. But after a court battle, they were released, and this *one* Orca is now the matriarch of 6% of the *entire* remaining southern resident Orca population!
Watch the video of the new baby here!

That’s why, when Japanese photographer Noriyuki Hayakawa spotted an all-white orca during an expedition, they couldn’t believe their eyes. “This is the first time I’ve encountered a white or…

AI - Artificial Intelligence , on board ships
Unfortunately, AI is gaining ground in almost every environment
Orca AI’s SeaPod
The system should help reduce the risk of collision at sea , the AI assesses imminent risks and warns the operator (Bridge Officers on watch)
The system consists of 8 ultra high resolution cameras, a monitor, and a computer (Ubuntu Desktop with Nvidia GPU) , and It is not connected in any way to the ship's automation.
As we know artificial intelligence, it must learn, it must be trained. This system processes more sources of information, and gets smarter every day.
One of my colleagues at the art supply / frame shop I work at, her boyfriend is Haida (an indigenous person of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America). I love Haida & Tlingit art! So before I retire next week I paid him for a print of this Orca. Today I printed it out & framed it. I'm very happy with how it turned out! He (Alex) is a very talented artist! (Phone photo.)
#3 Xsodect - Torn Leaf
Originally made for @TodePond around a year ago
I tried to expand the track but was only making it worse, so apparently it's already perfect. Updated visuals a little and the leaf itself.

Almost didn’t draw tonight. The council meeting ran so late. I didn’t think I had a drawing in me. But it was also very emotional and I needed to draw a sleeping cat to calm down. Orca is always here for me when I need to draw.
