20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Megaptera novaeangliae
We were in Zodiac boats amidst the ice in Eastern Greenland watching these Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) feed. We kept a respectful distance, and the whales didn't seem bothered by our presence. They just continued to feed. Here, one whale goes for a deep dive.
