The moment of impact when a playful humpback whale calf breaches. This important behavior is used for a variety of reasons including communication. For the calves, they do it for fun, building muscle as they get ready for their first migration to the cold waters of Antarctica.Taken off the coast of Rurutu, French Polynesia
