On an excursion to Antarctica in January 2023, we were fortunate enough to see humpbacks on multiple occasions, minke whales, two large pods of orcas, and even a few Sei whales when returning to port in the Beagle Channel. One evening after dinner near Wilhelmina Bay, a pair of humpbacks spent an hour simply swimming around our boat, repeatedly approaching quite close and even diving under the boat. Listening to them and watching them up close in such a serene setting is a memory that will last a lifetime.
