Orca Beauty

Back in Antarctica for a few weeks and just arrived my season is already perfect! An amazing encounter with d-type killer whales in the drake, an hour spent with these southern ocean puzzles. A very curious group who came to do bow riding at the front of the ship! The chance of a life!

Lots of spyhopping whales today! Norwegian killer seem to spyhop more than other populations, but they rarely, rarely ever breach.

This small group of orcas kept spy-hopping around our inflatable boat in the northern fjords of Lofoten, Norway. They were showing so much curiosity that it seemed like an invitation to get in the water with them. As soon as we did the young calf brought over a jellyfish and then proceeded to play with it in front of us for quite some time.
