Humpback Whales, Stephens Passage, Alaska – Image 2259

A pair of humpback whales lunge feed through a school of herring. Humpbacks surround a school of fish with a net of bubbles blown out of their blow hole. Once the school of fish are corralled by the stream of bubbles, the whales swim up through the school with their mouths wide open and swallow as many fish as possible.
