spyhopping videos

The killer whales would some times "spy-hop" which is where they look for food on the ice. Here is an awesome spy hopping video. I think the commentary gives a pretty good idea of what it was like to see this in real life.

Spyhopping is when orcas vertically propel themselves halfway out of the water and stay there for a moment, akin to a human treading water.

A pod of approximately 15 Orcas cavorts alongside an expedition ship bound for the Antarctic Peninsula. In this relatively brief clip one large animal surfaces to take a better look around in behavior known as Spy Hopping.
