Some very shocked swimmers had a close encounter with a group of orcas off Quadra Island. Video captured the whales heading right up to swimmers next to rocks. The group of orcas is part of the T090 pod, which is a family of well-known whales. They’re said to have been spending a fair bit of time hunting harbour seals in the Salish Sea recently as well as the occasional trip to Alaska. | Global BC

to think I almost missed this incredible winter whale sighting off Quadra Island in beautiful British Columbia because I had "things to do". capturing the final breach and watching that massive tale come up out of the water was one of the most majestic things I've ever seen 😍 #whales | Trip Longer
