ASTOUNDING PICTURES OF MOTHER HUMPBACK WHALE AND HER CALF

Photographer uses drone to capture amazing footage of protective mother humpback whale and her calf off remote Tongan island.

  • Darren Rice films humpback whales in waters off Foa in the Kingdom of Tonga with a flying drone camera
  • The British cameraman, who now runs a dive resort, takes the incredible footage mostly for research purposes
  • Video and stills feature a mother and a calf bonding, along with images of males vying to mate with a female whale

    Rice, 47, has been a wildlife cameraman for years but usually the footage he captures comes from below the water
