Humpback, Sitka 2024

from $75.00

LIMITED EDITION PRINT - A large humpback whale dives close to the boat in Chatham Straight near Sitka Alaska. Incredible to be this close to one of the largest creatures on the planet. During the time I was in Sitka (mid-April) the humpbacks had just returned from fasting and breeding for several months in Hawaii. The herring spawn this time of year and the humpbacks enjoy some of their first meals since returning to northern waters, working in teams to ensnare large schools of the fish in a strategy called bubble-net feeding. As amazing as it was to witness them feeding in this way, it was their immense size and quiet, graceful power that has proved to be my strongest memory of the time I spent in their presence.
