It's a fluke! I've dreamed of taking a humpback whale fluke photo like this for years, and then a few days ago on RV Polarstern expedition #PS134 in Eltanin Bay, Bellingshausen Sea, #Antarctica, I was lucky enough to have my camera and telephoto lens on me at the right time.

Ice shelves are floating extensions of ice sheets, so when ice shelves disintegrate, they don’t directly raise sea levels. However, they act like a cork in a bottle, holding back land ice. When they collapse, glacial ice can start streaming into the ocean.

What a 24 hours at Scott Base! Overnight our crew saw the first sunset in months, and then the sea ice in front of base broke out. Minke and orca whales have already been spotted in the distance where just last night it was covered in ice 🐳
