2025, June 21. Iceland, Akureyri, beach in Ólafsfjörður. A mass stranding of 60 pilot whales. Rescue crews from Siglufjörður, Akureyri, Dalvík, and Ólafsfjörður are working alongside police and fire services to assist the whales. There are still 15 cetaceans ashore. Updates to come. 20250622: A report from rescuers that between 60 to 70 whales have been refloated. Even though in deeper water, it is unclear whether they will remain this way, and the possibility of individuals restranding is high.
