Hundreds of orcas gather in the Kvænangen fjord northeast of Tromsø each winter to feed on the massive herring migration, often alongside humpback whales. Known for their 'carousel feeding' technique where they swirl under schools of herring. Snorkeling with orcas is tightly regulated and usually only possible in November under special permit.
