Description
From both coasts of the mainland United States, the breaches, spouts and tail slaps of these colossal cetaceans can be seen for miles. But US-based whale lovers hoping to spot them may have the best luck venturing beyond the Lower 48 . This humpback is attempting some acrobatics in one of these migratory whales' favourite summer feeding spots: Glacier Bay National Park in the massive 49th state . As the Alaskan autumn sets in, humpback pods will head to tropical spots to breed—making the 50th state of Hawaii one of the world's premier perches for wintertime whale-watching.
