A pod of Killer Whales came through Juneau this afternoon! These creatures are magnificently powerful and swift, traveling up to 99 miles in one day! Due to how quickly they travel, it isn't very often that we get to enjoy the presence of these spectacular animals.

Have you ever heard a whale sing? Humpback whales are known for their magical songs, which can last up to 20 minutes and can be heard more than 20 miles away. These sequences of moans, howls, cries, and other noises are only performed by the males and will change gradually over the years.

Did you know some humpback whales in Alaska use a method called bubble-net feeding, where they dive deep and swim up in a spiral pattern while releasing bubbles from their blowholes to corral large schools of fish? Once the fish are condensed together and pushed towards the surface, the whales quickly swim upwards with open mouths through the bubbles to catch their prey.

Happy Valentine's Day from one whale to another!

Did you know that scientists believe that whales breach as a form of communication, a way to warn others from impending danger, stun their prey or even as a mating ritual competition with other males?

Can you guess what this one may be doing in Maui??

I wonder if humpbacks, orcas, and seals can see the aurora borealis? 🐳🐋🌈🌙

Photo taken a few nights ago here in Juneau by Steve B.

*And yes, there's a *chance* our cruise ship guests may see aurora if you come in early May or after mid-September! But sadly, we are too bright the rest of the summer to see them.

Did you know that our naturalist & captains can identify our whales by their flukes?

Each whale has different colors & markings that stand out, and are then reported on websites like https://www.happywhale.com - where whales can be identified & tracked easier!

Below is EYELET, one of our regulars here in Juneau - and photo taken by one of our captains Bri!
