Photograph by @florianschulzvisuals // Humpback whales are some of the most fun whales to watch. They show so much activity at the water’s surface: Slapping their tail, trumpeting from their blow hole, splashing with their pectoral fins. The most breathtaking of it all is when a 30-ton whale breaches right in front of you.
I was sailing in south east Alaska when we came across this individual. It catapulted its body repeatedly out of the water. The breaching rarely happens multiple times in the same exact spot, so one has to develop a certain intuition where the whale might come up next. After a serious of failures, I finally got this image. For me humpbacks breaching is one of the most exciting wildlife spectacles.
Humpback whales were almost hunted to the brink of extinction until they were protected in 1966. Populations since have recovered and an estimated 80000 whales roam the world’s oceans once again. #humpbackwhale #alaska #conservation #wildlifephotography
