Blue Whale Pictures

Blue whale, exhaling in a huge blow as it swims at the surface between deep dives.  The blue whale's blow is a combination of water spray from around its blowhole and condensation from its warm breath. La Jolla, California, USA, Balaenoptera musculus.  Copyright Phillip Colla, Oceanlight.com
