Above- #23 Title- “Humpback Mother & Calf with Jellyfish” 1 of 500
Whilst filming his award winning documentary “Humpbacks from Fire to Ice” Ross spent six seasons off Maui, Hawaii and in the Inside Passage, South East Alaska capturing the natural history of the humpback whales which migrate between those locations. Working with the Hawaii Whale Research Foundation HWRF on a special NOAA permit, he was able to swim with the whales and record some extraordinary footage of these wonderful animals. Humpback mothers and calves would be observed in the deep water around Maui creating some memorable moments for the cine cameras. Here a mother humpback whale and her calf can be observed swimming in deep water surrounded by a swarm of oceanic jellyfish.
