The animals of the Galapagos Islands really have no fear of humans. As such the young can be very inquisitive around photographers.
There are seals everywhere in the Galapagos. Even on the wall behind the bus stops. Well I guess first person to arrive and wait for the bus gets the wall to sit on.

Getting to the Galapagos in the birthing season is amazing and the opportunities to see cute youngsters is massive. There is no escaping the seals and in October/November no escaping the youngsters either.
Well when you go whale watching the best thing you can get a photo of is a whale. If you don't see any then maybe a pod of dolphins will be compensation enough.
It isn't easy to time whale shots and get their heads in the frame. The tail or flukes are much easier. Also I do think tail shots are a bit more whale like. After all how many of us have seen many whale faces? Tails are what you see all the time when whale watching.
Whale watching in Iceland is wonderful in the early morning in the late autumn. The sun is so low in the sky that it feels like it is sunrise for hours on end.
