Caught on Camera: Humpback Whale Breaches — You Can Hear the Splash! (Aug 31, 2026)

A humpback whale suddenly breaches in front of the AfarTV iceberg camera off Ilulissat, Greenland, sending its massive body out of the water before crashing back into Disko Bay.

The moment was captured on August 31, 2026, by the AfarTV 4K Ilulissat Iceberg Camera. What makes this encounter especially remarkable is the sound—the camera microphone clearly picks up the splash as the whale hits the water.

Humpback whales spend the summer feeding in the productive waters around western Greenland, and Disko Bay is one of the best-known places in the region to see them. Breaching is one of their most spectacular behaviors, with whales sometimes launching much of their body completely clear of the water.

The AfarTV camera overlooks the iceberg-filled waters near Ilulissat, giving viewers a continuous 4K view of whales, seabirds, drifting icebergs, Arctic weather and the changing conditions of Disko Bay.
