Humpback whale calf taken at the Silver Bank between the Dominican Republic and Turks and Caicos Islands.

Thousands of North Atlantic humpback whales migrate to the Silver Bank each winter to mate or give birth, so there are many moms with calves there. The calves can be quite curious and active, like the youngster shown here.

Thank you, Rassie! I’m pretty sure this young whale wanted to see the people in the boat. At least that’s my explanation for the open eyes!

Thanks, Dan! Silver Banks is a popular spot for people who want to get in the water with the whales, although there is limited access since only a few boats are permitted to be there each winter.
