Every year in the spring, blue whales migrate through the Azores. I feel very lucky to have seen many blue whales, but I still often think that many people never have the chance to see even one of these majestic giants in their lifetime. 2012 was by far the best year for blue whale sightings, with a record peak seen in March. This was also the year that I got to see the best tail moments. I noticed over the years that there were blue whale "tail years" and "no tail years". This is probably related to the depth that their food (krill) is at.
The highest blue whale tail I ever saw!
