There’s nothing quite like hearing the song of a humpback whale.
The sound reverberates through your body as you realize such a powerful vibration can be created by another living being. It feels otherworldly—a moment suspended in the vast blue where you’re simultaneously reminded of your smallness and your undeniable connection to the universe. The rest of the world fades away, leaving just you and the whale in a moment that feels both infinite and fleeting.
Our cofounder paulnicklen captured this humpback’s song in the Dominican Republic’s Silver Bank a few years ago. He and mitty spent days filming and photographing humpbacks in this critical breeding and calving zone, working to ensure its protection. Earlier last year, we celebrated the Dominican Republic’s monumental decision to protect 30% of their oceans, including Silver Bank.
We’re still rejoicing with the knowledge that the whales are safe to sing their songs here for generations to come.
