July 19, Friday
Today was incredible. The day began with a breathtaking sunrise, casting a golden glow over the snow-covered mountains and, along the way, a majestic glacier. The mountains, draped in a veil of fog, added a touch of mystery to the landscape. Wildlife was abundant, adding to the enchantment of the day.
We were once again graced with an outstanding opportunity to witness the incredible show that the humpback whales put on for us. It’s always difficult to count how many whales you see when they perform for three and a half hours, but we felt there were even more than yesterday, when we estimated around 50. Although we didn’t see any breaching today, we were treated to numerous spouts, whales swimming gracefully, and plenty of fluking and a little pec slapping. Today, I decided to forgo taking pictures of the activities and instead fully immerse myself in the experience, savoring every moment of the magnificent display. However, I did manage to capture a few pictures of the playful dolphins that came to frolic around our boat. It was a day filled with awe and wonder, leaving us with memories to cherish forever.
