ONTARIO, CANADA: THE EXACT moment a leaping thirty-ton whale’s body is perfectly parallel with the surface of the water it is exploding from has been sensationally captured. Other pictures show the sequence of precisely how the Humpback whale broke the surface of the water, only to emerge from the waves at a high speed. Elementary school teacher Ian Stotesbury (37) from Ontario, Canada was lucky enough to spot the whale on a boat ride in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
