Humpback whales feeding near Juneau, Alaska. This is the closest - TopicsExpress



          

Humpback whales feeding near Juneau, Alaska. This is the closest our tour guide Koy said shes ever had them surface. At the very beginning of the video, I actually have my camera pointed in the right direction, but I didnt realize the significance of the foamy area, I think mostly because it was SO CLOSE to the boat. (The whales had previously been surfacing some distance away.) The foam is from the bubbles that the whales blow in a ring around the fish to compact them into a bait ball. If you look closely, you can see fish jumping out of the water right before the whales surface.
