The Love Song of the Humpback Whale
They've come a long way since March: majestic humpback whales begin a long exodus from Antarctica to the crystal blue oceans off the coast of Ecuador. By June, the long voyage in search of a mate has ended. For the next several months, these gentle giants - which can reach lengths of 15 meters or more - are doing what they can to get the attention of a potential mate. Leaping effortlessly out of the water, all the while singing love songs, the humpback whale is on a mission. And the great thing about this pastoral scene: you can be right in the middle of it all! Camera in hand and so close you'll be tempted to reach out and caress a massive fin.
