About this image: Humpback whale coming towards Mad Dog Voyager (Whale tail on left side of the bow)
Whale Watching is an incredible experience. A great congregational point for these magnificent creatures is at Point Adophus near the entrance to Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. Humpbacks are huge mammals averaging 45' (14 m) and 30 tons (27,000 kg) with large specimens as giant as 62' (19m) and weighing up to 53 tons (48,000 kg).

            ... Our heart rates jumped, the adrenalin started coursing through our blood and we both knew
            we were helpless to change anything ...

About this photo: Humpback whale coming towards Mad Dog Voyager
Here is a humpback whale having surfaced off of our Port side and heading towards us. We marveled at how these giant creatures are able to slip so smoothly and effortlessly through the water
