Sitakaday Narrows humpback whale blow
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadA humpback whale surfaces and blows out air as it breathes in the Sitakaday Narrows of the main bay of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in this view seen from Young Island located in the Beardslee Islands of the park in southeast Alaska. The "blow" or spray is partially caused by water resting on top of the whale's blowholes (nostrils). A humpback whale has two blow holes whereas some other species of whales only have one.
