Humpback whales exhaling
Humpback whales exhaling in calm waters off the Antarctic Peninsula. When a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) exhales, air is released from the whales blowhole, the nostril on the top of its head. The humpback whale may reach a length of 15 metres and weigh up to 27 tonnes. It is known for the impressive leaps that it makes out of the water and for its long vocalisations, which are more elaborate than in any other known whale song. Humpback whales are found in the deep waters of the coastal regions of all the worlds oceans. They are one of the whale species most threatened with extinction

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene moment of humpback whales exhaling in the tranquil waters off the Antarctic Peninsula. The majestic humpback whale, scientifically known as Megaptera novaeangliae, releases a burst of air from its blowhole, located on top of its head. These magnificent creatures can grow up to an impressive length of 15 meters and weigh a staggering 27 tonnes. Renowned for their acrobatic leaps out of the water and enchanting vocalizations, humpback whales possess more elaborate songs than any other known whale species. Found in deep coastal regions across all oceans worldwide, these gentle giants are unfortunately among those most threatened with extinction. In this image, we witness a pair of humpback whales gracefully emerging from beneath the surface, creating vertical columns of vapor as they exhale. Their breath mingles with the surrounding sea and ice, forming a mesmerizing spray that adds to the ethereal atmosphere. As we admire this remarkable display captured by Science Photo Library's lens, let us reflect on our responsibility to protect these incredible marine mammals and ensure their survival for generations to come.
