Humpback Whales



Humpback whales are abundant in Alaska especially in southeast. I took these photos on one of my rare days off this summer. These pictures don't do the animals justice. The spout of water that comes out when they exhale is fifteen feet high but what can you expect when one lung is the size of a VW Bug! Scientists can identify individuals from the unique markings on their tale fluke. Marine mammals are not my area of expertise but always fun to see.

Also just a quick disclaimer that all photos on this site are not to be reproduced without my permission. lol
