Photograph by @paulnicklen while on assignment for @natgeo and @sea_legacy. With the sun barely peeking over the horizon in the Northern fjords of Norway at high noon in the heart of winter, a humpback whale throws its tail high in the air. On this same night, we saw hundreds of #orcas, dozens of humpbacks and many fin whales. To see my favorite underwater orca images from this encounter, please #follow me on @paulnicklen #gratitude #whale @ilovenorway #beauty #beauty #instagood #picoftheday #photooftheday
