We ended up stopping the ship for about an hour to watch four humpback whales feed Bubble netting. Basically the humpbacks swim in a circle and create a lot of bubbles, which then creates a tunnel of bubble that corrals the krill together. Then the humpbacks swim up through the tunnel with mouths open to devour the krill. Pretty clever.
