These photos are of humpback whales in Cabo Pulmo National Park, Baja California, Mexico. Cabo Pulmo was designated a national park in 1995 through efforts of the local community. The park extends for five miles along the coastline. It had previously been subject to overfishing but is now a federally protected National Marine Park with a healthy ecosystem. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
Humpback whales migrate to the Sea of Cortez from their main feeding areas in Alaska. They come south, primarily in the winter months, to breed.

Ooh, good pix! Did you discuss the reason why whales jump? I wonder if it has philosophical implications.
