Incredible! I doubt if even Nat. Geographic has any shots, or even film, like this. But do you happen to know if it was just chance, or was the ship actually looking for whales? That would be even worse.

Awesome! Imagine what the people on that boat are looking at! They must be frightened! You were not on a National Geographic mission, where you? :) It's a magnificent shot. A very rare one I suppose!!
