A humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) feeding in shallow water at the edge of the Strait of Magellan. Humpback whales are said to be able to feed close to the shore because, unlike most other whales, they can swim backwards. The rocky shorline lined with Southern Beech (Nothofagus species) trees is in the background. Francisco Coloane Marine Park, Strait of Magellan, Republic of Chile 21Feb13
