Searching for whales in Greenland (14th August 2018)

Trying to search for whales? A slightly unsuccessful beginning with the camera! The following films are better! Here come the whales! First video with the humpbacks blowing and swimming, some interesting commentary alongside! Here are the humpbacks in all their glory :) Boat, plane and whales! The sound of the boat, the majestic silence of the whales and the noise of a plane – all captured in the nature off Ilulissat.
