Breaching Humpback

The Humpback Whale has made a huge comeback in recent years with more and more whales entering our BC Coast waters. I am starting to see them around Vancouver Island in places I can't believe. They are a wonderful sight and I have had the privilege to take photo ID images for scientists at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, BC. This photo was taken off Dundas Island up in Northern BC, close to Prince Rupert. Not often do I have time to get the mammoth creature in flight. It is spectacular when it happens in front of you!
