A walrus that drew crowds when spotted on the south and east coasts of England appears to have arrived in Iceland.
The mammal, named Thor, appeared in Hampshire in December before spending New Year in Scarborough and heading 70 miles further north to Blyth, Northumberland.
The walrus was reported as in Breiðdalsvík, Iceland, on Friday.
The walrus, thought to be aged between three and five, drew crowds to the North Yorkshire resort after being spotted on a slipway on 30 December.
Scarborough's New Year's Eve fireworks were cancelled in order not to distress him, before he made a later appearance 70 miles further up the coast at the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club in Blyth.
Thor had spent several hours on the beach at Calshot near Southampton on 12 December.
He is known to have visited the Netherlands and Dieppe in France in 2022 and it is thought he could have travelled from as far as the Canadian Arctic.
