Out of the fog, a Humpback Whale opens its mouth wide and gulps down a huge mouthful of water and krill. The pink soft palate of the upper jaw, surrounded on both sides by tan colored baleen, is seen to the left. The distended ventral grooves and lower jaw are to the right.

The silhouette or outline of a speeding Humpback Whale causes the water to conform to its body under the water as it races forward to engulf krill. The krill (Thysanoessa spinifera) are the red spots jumping out of the water in a futile attempt to escape. In the back, red necked Phalaropes are also feeding on krill.
