Megaptera novaeangliae (Big-winged New Englander), which is the Latin name for the Humpback Whale. This big guy I found while cruising in a zodiac in an area called Neko harbour. It was foraging along this deep shelf in between all the icebergs. No doubt one of my favourite animals to interact with when working down in Antarctica. Just big gentle giants of the ocean, also known as the Ballerinas of the sea.
