One thing that is definitely one of my favourite aspects about the Antarctic Peninsula - beside the stunning landscapes, glaciers, icebergs and adorable penguins are the whales!! No surprise there for most of you, I am sure.
A colleague of mine being investigated by a curious humpback early one morning
During the late February and March time of year it becomes somewhat of a whale paradise with whale encounters happening almost every minute no matter where you are and where you look. So for me, I feel pretty much at home and am thoroughly enjoying myself as it is kind of my element.
How many Humpbacks do you see in this photo?

thanks a lot for this scrumptious photographic sharing. Yesterday, my friend Auriane was telling me, again, how much she was hoping to go down to Antarctica to be a chef for the crews out there. She has been working in the Arctic for many years now and wants some "change"!?!
Great shots, again, thanks a lot! Namaste :)

oh wow! I hope your friend gets to go down and explore the Antarctic region - it is life changing to experience that part of the world.
Thanks!

I thought that people can not get too close to the whale. They photographed him?

you need to know what you are doing - a lot of the time the whales come to you to investigate what you are. They can be very very curious at times

I have always wanted to go to Antarctica and see the whales up close. With my luck though, one of the tales would come down crashing on the boat. At least I would be able to get some sweet close up pictures of the tale as it is coming down on me.
Amazing shots @thomasjmitchell. It must have been an incredible experience to be that close to such majestic beasts.

I am a Zoology teacher in the Mojave desert of southern California. I would love to visit the Antartic! It has always been on my bucket list. I would love to see a blue whale as it is also on my bucket list. Maybe someday!
