Dolphins playing with a Hurtigruten ship!

Check out this video that one of the crew members of Hurtigruten's MS Midnatsol was fortunate enough to shoot: A couple of dolphins are effordlessly swimming and playing in front of the ship! It's fairly common to see these animals from a distance, but seeing them so close, and in this setting is quite special. 

It looks like they're just in front of the ship's bulb, and I guess normal speed for this ship is about 15 knots. No high speed for a dolphin! This video is shot as the MS Midnatsol was on it's way to Øksfjord in Finnmark in Northern Norway. Beautiful animals!
