Whales by Photographer Alexander Safonov

“Sperm whale taking the plunge, Ogasawara Islands, Japan. Sperm whale diving cycle lasts for about one hour, with ~45 minutes spent underwater, at extreme depths up to 1000m while hunting for giant squid and octopus – and only 15 minutes on the surface. For us it's only possible to see them during this short time period – and it's necessary to use hydrophone to locate rendezvous points. Hydrophone allows to capture sounds whales make even at extreme depths – pointing to the area where whale is going to surface”. (Photo by Alexander Safonov)
