A calf, mother, & escort humpback whale dance & spin in the emerald blue of Tonga. The leviathans circled directly beneath me. The calf began to ascend towards the surface, as the youngling needs to breath much more often than the adults.

I encountered this baby humpback in Tonga , this year. I stayed there for about half a month, but I have a stronger impression than any whale I have ever met. Even though new born calf was curious and played well with me.
