Researchers are using drones in order to study whales in new and inventive ways. Ocean Alliance, a marine conservation organization, is pioneering their use to replace older, more invasive, and more dangerous techniques.
An Argentinian photographer has captured a once-in-a-lifetime drone shot of a whale playfully swimming beneath a stand-up paddle (SUP) board as the rider takes in the view of the magnificent ocean mammal.
A photographer was on a whale-watching trip when he unexpectedly captured incredible photos of a large humpback whale exploding out of the water right next to an unsuspecting fisherman on his boat.

A group of whale-watchers in Quebec recently had an unforgettable encounter with a giant whale that apparently wanted to pose for some close-up photos. What happened was captured in the 30-second video above.
Photographer Clint Rivers recently spotted what may be the happiest little baby orca in all the ocean. The Victoria, British Columbia-based wildlife photographer was on a boat in the Salish Sea when they came across a pod of killer whales and a 6-month-old orca leaping over and over out of the water.
Photographer and animal lover Dale Frink was on a whale watching trip earlier this month when something scary happened: two lunge feeding blue whales popped up right behind the whale watching boat he was on, capsizing it and sending Frink and all his stuff into the frigid water.
And yet, he still got the shot.
