En route, cruise passengers find an abundance of harbour porpoises, minke whales, majestic fin whales and dynamic humpbacks. Then, not one, but four blue whales appear in an explosion of sound blasts. Their long, bluish-grey backs stream by. One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds. Surprise: two of the individuals raise their tails before disappearing into the depths for a good fifteen minutes. Only 14 to 18% of the blue whales that frequent the St. Lawrence lift their tails when they dive. What luck to see two at the same time! An emotional observer wipes the tears from her cheeks. The St. Lawrence is teeming with life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
