» Amid the vast azure body of water, some 10m in front of the boat, the massive grey bulk of a marine creature pushes itself out of the surface without any warning. It slowly opens its mouth until you can see the pink palate and the yellow baleen plates along the length of the jaw. Schools of small fish scatter out of the gaping hole, like water that is boiling over, and the creature's mouth closes as it sinks below the surface. The boat's prow just misses a direct collision.
