The sperm whale is the largest of all toothed whales, making them the Earth's largest living carnivore and largest living toothed animal. The whale was named after the milky-white waxy substance, spermaceti, found in its head and originally mistaken for sperm. It has a cosmopolitan distribution across the world's oceans. The species feeds on squid and fish, diving as deep as 3000 metres in order to obtain its prey, making it the deepest diving mammal in the world. Netherlands

Seljavallalaug The swimming pool Seljavallalaug is situated in a short and a narrow valley at the foot of the Eyjafjoll Mountains in Southern Iceland.
