\nToday we had many whales off the south coast of S\u00e3o Miguel Island. In the morning we encountered 2 humpback whales<\/a>, one of which we could confirm is the same as yesterday because we managed to photograph the identifying marks on the underside of its tail. Most likely its the same humpback whale pair that we encountered yesterday, a pair of very big individuals! Throughout the day we also encountered many fin whales<\/a>, probably a total of 5 individuals both in the morning and afternoon. We could see their blows everywhere among the waves. One of the whales from the morning was very unusual, with a smaller than usual dorsal fin and a body shape that indicated that it may have been a blue whale<\/a>, only it had the colouration of a fin whale. This unusual whale may have been a hybrid between a blue whale and a fin whale, which is something that is known to happen. Every day that we go out we have a surprise waiting for us!<\/div>\n
