Cruise ship stumbles on a rare sight: a gathering of 1,000 whales

Pretty freakin' amazing!


"Passengers aboard the National Geographic Endurance came across the fin whales foraging near Antarctica—the biggest congregation of baleen whales seen in more than a century."

Great stuff!  Thanks for the share.   

Neat 

Bad ass!

Whale breath is nasty, it makes me want to puke.

One of these NatGeo Antarctica expeditions is on our bucket list.  So awesome!  Thanks a ton for sharing.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that.

I learned that personally in HMB when a pod of humpbacks were there while I was trying to catch salmon.  My friends said I was super lucky to experience that.  I didn’t feel so lucky at the time with the stinky breath and one breaching a few times near me.  I started to paddle in until I saw a giant mouth bigger than my kayak surface at the harbor entrance.  It makes for a great story now, but at the time, it was kind of a high pucker factor. 

Yes a good story indeed.

Last salmon season at HMB a whale (I think a humpback) rolled about 3 feet from my yak..... its wake pushed me and the yak sideways probably 3 to 4 feet and its tail nearly touched it..... I had to give my wetsuit a good cleaning when I got home.

What a rush that was..... would not have missed it for the world.  Made me think I should get a go pro as I have had some great scenery while fishing.
