Blimey Phil, quite hard from these images, I take it you didn't see much more than this?
Gut reaction to the blow, tail fluke and dorsal would be a Humpback, but I am squinting!

These are from my brother, Mark. Apparently it was very far away. I'll try and get some better quality images, as I cropped these from a docx file...
 
Thanks very much Mark and Edward!:t:

If your brother's still in Iceland, tell him to pop round to the next bay further east, where there have been Blue Whales visible from land this last week - my friend rang me the other night to tell me he had just had Blue Whale from his window list at home, the swine. :eek!:

Iceland is obviously the way forward! And discovered by a Raven! :eek!:B :)
