Humpback whales hunting. part 2 Prince Rupert Skagway
It's one my dreams that came true, seeing whales. To see the first whale was already fantastic, but after seeing one and then two and then four, this group of at least 8-10 individuals was spectacular. What you can see here is a group of hunting whales. What they do is encircle a group of fish until they are packed in a small area, and then come up with open mouth to shovel them into it. You can see one with open mouth, and another whale on the right that is still coming out of the water.
Gulls are joining the party, and that's often how ships identify
the party. (i have seen a similar spectacle when looking for whalesharks!)
During my inside passage trip I saw ca 100 humpbacks!!!,
And BTW, llook at the enormous size of their heads compared to the boats behind it!
From 11 june till the 25th of july, I travelled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska, from where i took a scenic train thorugh the Rocjies to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and travelled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery garantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
