Antarctic Humpbacks

Here are a few shots of Humpback whales from my recent trip to Antarctica. We were lucky enough to get into the zodiacs with a few Humpbacks around.

C&C always apreciated.

Pretty cool ( no pun intended) and I especially like the 3rd shot with the classic pose and with the ice in the background.

A couple of Fluke shots (PUN intended) I love the second fluke.
That is the best IMO

Love to take a trip to view these creatures. Nicely captured; well done.

Really nice series

Excellent series. I would love an opportunity like this, very well done. I like everything about these pictures.

You've done something very few of us will ever do, and you have great pictures to remind you of it.

Thanks very much for you comments. I would say that if you ever get the chance to go then jump at it. I wish I had the ability to put the emotion experienced into the pictures - it really was a journey that just makes you want to go back for more, and more and more...

Awesome, just awesome...really great shots of some breathtaking creatures. I bookmarked your site and when I have more time, I will read everything on it. I'm fascinated by Antarctica and would love to go there someday. I'm reading a book right now about the Wandering Albatross (which breeds there). I would love to see the wildlife that lives in such inhospitable climates.

Brrr... Looks freezing! Very cool shots (no pun intended )
