One final image from Alaska before I head out for the humpback whale season in Tonga:

Northern or southern hemisphere, baby whales love to play.

    I love this shot. On a surface interval between dives on the Yongala last year, a very large humpback floated belly up in the sunshine very close to our mooring. She waved her fins in the air just like this – first one, then the other, each time hitting the water with a lazy slap. They are amazing creatures (and amazingly large). Enjoy Tonga!

    Hi Liz,

    It’s a wonderful sight, isn’t it? There’s no mistaking the fun the whales have when they do this.
    Cheers,
