Description

Former BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Duncan Murrell has been out in his kayak taking close up pictures of humpback whales in the Tenakee Inlet, Southeast Alaska.
“To me these were challenging subjects. When I was in Alaska most photographers would charter a boat but I didn’t want to just go out and take a picture – I wanted to go out and immerse myself in the outdoors.”
Duncan spent a lot of time in the 1990s sat in a small kayak drifting close to schools of humpback whales off Alaska. It allowed him to indulge his passions for nature, thrill-seeking and photography
