Incredible Up-Close Video of a Whale's Tail Slap


Occurred on December 2015 / Tonga

Info from Licensor: While swimming in Tonga, my fiance and I met an uncommonly large humpback whale calf. It picked me out of our group and then placed itself beneath me while vocalizing and blowing bubbles. I assume it said it had heard about Norwegians and didn't like what it had heard. It then proceeded to try to take my head off! By dodging and moving my GoPro behind my head I was able to avoid its tail slap by less than an inch!
