'Thor' the walrus who surprised Blyth residents spotted more than 2,000 miles away in Iceland

A walrus that shocked residents when he appeared at a Blyth yacht club last month has been spotted in Iceland, according to reports.

The eight-foot-long Arctic walrus dubbed 'Thor' turned up at the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club on Monday, January 2 where he spent time resting on a wooden pontoon. The young male, which is believed to weigh around half a ton, then left Blyth at around 6.30am the following day.

His visit to Northumberland followed a short stay in Scarborough on New Year's Eve which amazed thousands of onlookers.
