Our ship encountered a huge group of feeding humpback whales. We were surrounded by them for approx. 1.5 hours as we watched them feed, play, breech, dive...it was an enchanting experience. I never thought I would be so up-close to these beautiful creatures.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience this clean and unspoiled part of the earth. It has inspired our family to pay even more attention to environmental issues than before. This is due in part to the education and exposure to the issues by the Expedition Team's lectures and conversations, as well as just the experience of being there and seeing in person.
