23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Spyhopping Humpback Whale
A spyhopping humpback whale in the Stephens Passage south of Juneau, Alaska. There were several whales frolicking as our cruise ship, the David B,passed through. I was able to get this whale taking a peek above the surface. The behavior is called "spyhopping".
