One of next year´s objectives is to have a special TWN even called "Photo Identification Week"  in the middle of June 2010, in connection with Húsavík´s annual "Sólarhátíð" (Sun festival). To participate in this event guests on whale watching tours would take photos of whales during their tour and then bring the photos back to the Húsavík Whale Museum, where they would compare them to a database of existing photos in an attempt to indentify individuals. This event is a part of a series of events taking place under the name of The Wild North in the year 2010.

Whales are for example identified by their flukes, but each fluke has a certain shape and pattern.
