Jakob Birgisson
Jakob Birgisson is a resident of Njarðvík, Iceland, known for his discovery of a rare northern bottlenose whale that washed ashore near his home. Born and raised in Njarðvík, Jakob expressed surprise at encountering such a phenomenon, noting that he had never seen a whale wash up on the local shore before. His keen interest in marine life led him to research the whale's species, identifying it as a northern bottlenose whale, a type of beaked whale typically found in the North Atlantic. Jakob's photographs of the whale carcass contributed to the local community's awareness of this uncommon event, marking the tenth documented case of this species stranding in Iceland since records began in 1980.
