This friendly humpback whale was spotted near the archipelago of Tonga, but you don't need to travel all the way to the South Pacific to witness these giants at play. Highly migratory, humpbacks have a range that covers the entire global ocean except the very coldest Arctic waters. Sticking close to the surface and making relatively shallow, short dives, humpbacks frequently breach in spectacular fashion, making them perhaps the world's most popular sight for whale watchers.
