Wildlife Photographer Series – The Norway Whales

The Northern Fjords of Norway are the sight of a seasonal super-feast where Orcas, Humpbacks and other whales predate on the billions of herring that come here for the winter. And for the first time Fin Whales, the second largest whale in the world, have started to hunt here as well.

The Hong Kong Maritime Museum has invited Simon Lorenz, a Hong Kong underwater photographer, to share his experience with these Norway Whales during the herring feast, and he will also talk about the unique aspects of whales and dolphins.
