Behaviour category runner-up. The Heat Run by Scott Portelli (Australia) in Vavau, Tonga. “The heat run is the ultimate wildlife encounter, multiple whales competing for a female, the chase can last for hours or even days. Often many dolphin species are found moving with the humpback groups ... On this day we jumped in with this group of 16 whales and 50 dolphins moving at high speed, trying to position ourselves in the right place to capture something amazing that not many people have experienced. It was truly heart-thumping and adrenaline-pumping action to be a part of”. (Photo by Scott Portelli/Underwater Photographer of the Year 2019)
