Is Skjervøy Herring Spawn and Orca Feeding happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~October. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each late autumn and winter, large Atlantic herring shoals aggregate along the Skjervøy coast in Troms og Finnmark, Norway.
These spawns attract groups of orcas that feed intensively near fjord mouths and islands, producing fast-paced surface displays often visible from boats and nearby shorelines.
