HD Close Encounter with Blue Whale

When you go whale watching, you hope for a distant view of a whale. These people were close enough to give this passing gentle giant a high five.

1ère sortie sur le Saint-Laurent pour voir les Baleines à hauteur de Tadoussac (Québec). Grâce à nôtre conducteur de Zodiac nommé "Antony" (de la Sté AML), nous avons pu voir plusieurs spécimen dont un "Rorqual commun" passer sous notre embarcation. Souvenir inoubliable !!!
