The tale of a tail...
I lay still in a zodiac, among icebergs and endless silence. No engine, no voices, no sound, just my breathing and gentle breeze of the Antarctic sea.
Then it happened. Out of nowhere they appeared. One, then another, and another. Giant humpback whales, so close I could hear their breath. I was surrounded. Not by danger, but by something bigger than ourselves.
And then, right next to me, this tail rose from the water. Soft, graceful, as if she was sending a greeting. One last movement before its disappearance into the depths.
This picture is that moment. Not just an image, but a reminder of how small you can feel and how grand the world really is.
