Popis:

This photograph was taken off the Graham Coast, Antarctica from aboard the National Geographic Explorer on January 3, 2018. It captures one moment during a two-hour encounter between four cooperatively hunting orcas and a crabeater seal. The seal, known informally as "Kevin", survived the ordeal despite over three dozen attempts by the orcas to wash him off of various ice floes. The orcas repeatedly aligned four abreast and charged directly at the ice floes in a synchronized fashion. By swimming in close formation just below the surface of the water, the orcas generated enormous bow waves that would wash over the ice floes, dislodging Kevin time and again. Kevin finally escaped by swimming at a 90 degree angle to the course of the whales as they dove under his ice floe a final time.
