Photo by @BrianSkerry The soulful eye of a Southern Right Whale photographed in the Auckland Islands of New Zealand (sub-Antarctic). Barnacles and cyamids (little crustaceans) live in rough patches of skin around the whale’s eye, giving shape and color. Photographed on assignment for @natgeo. This whale was very curious about me, following me underwater, clearly curious and allowing me into its world.
