One of the world’s premier photographers of whales, photographer and scientist Flip Nicklin has 20 National Geographic articles and more than 5,500 dives under his belt. For the March issue of National Geographic, he dove off the coast of Central America, where an upwelling of cool, nutrient-rich water serves as an oasis for a population of blue whales which has been growing in size—a hopeful development for a species which was brought to the brink of extinction in the 20th century.
