Humpbacks galore!

in #nature8 years ago (edited)

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.

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.

This is FANTASTIC!!!
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

You are lucky to see it from so close. Thanks for sharing.

Good post... really very nice photos are... your really good o. Your work 🍩🍩🍩🍩thts for you

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!

For such large creatures humpback whales appear quite friendly. Nice post

Assist me in taking down THE biggest abuser on steemit!


I exposed @berniesanders for what he really is in my posts.

Just take a look at any of my posts (which I HAD to spam constantly to drain his VP and also to get the exposure I needed) and you can see just how far the abuse goes by @berniesanders.

He even got lazy at one point in making alternate accounts to abuse with and made "nextgen-InsertNumberHere-" accounts!

Please, do your due dilligence and check out, not only my posts, but his steemd track record on upvotes/downvotes. He's got many many more accounts than just the ones I've found, I'm sure, but those were only the ones that I could PROVE were his beyond a shadow of a doubt (based on voting/downvoting patterns, delegations, transactions, etc!)!

The real abuser here is the one who cries "ABUSE!!" the most, it is, none other than the inbred, cousin-fucker, that is, @berniesanders! :))


Here's a link to one of my latest posts, showing @berniesanders' alternate account list! I believe it's STILL growing.. which is sad.. He truly is a sociopathic dipshit! Let's take this fucking piece of shit out, together! :)
