RARE, footage of a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) rising up from deep ocean to feed on a massive cloud of krill (Euphausia pacifica) at the ocean surface. Wide underwater shot shows the entire body of the blue whale, with the even bigger cloud of food krill. See the whale gapes its mouth as it plunges face-first into the cloud of krill. Eventually a swimmer with a video camera is seen at the top of the frame. Mysterious, pale blue, moody shot. The whale has followed krill food (Euphausia pacifica) up out of the deep ocean. The water is thick with krill and nutrients, making it hazy. In Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, summer. Pretty blue water. The elegant ocean surface can be seen from below. Baleen whale feeding on krill. Marine mammal. Plankton. North America West Coast.
