In 2011 cetacean scientists started observing groups of humpback whales gathering in huge numbers off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, to feed far from their summer feeding grounds in the Antarctic. These feeding aggregations, dubbed "Supergroups", consist of up to 200 individual whales in tightly packed groups feeding on krill. Around this same time I was lucky enough to shoot the first aerial images of this phenomenon and subsequently both Steve Benjamin and I were invited by Claudio Velasquez Rojas to join him as part of the Homebrew Films crew over several trips in 2016/2017 to document the behaviour from both above and below the surface. This short video, the second instalment in my "Between Worlds" series, produced in collaboration with the super talented Taun Healy from Blue Owl Media, is an attempt to portray the reality that Steve, Claudio & I experienced. To best enjoy the footage make sure the sound is on, the screen is set to full size and quality is on HD... Please note that all whale species are protected in South African waters and may not be approached closer than 300m without a permit. All footage was obtained under a filming permit from DAFF/DEA.
