In a startling incident off Chilean Patagonia, a kayaker named Adrian Simancas was briefly engulfed by a humpback whale while kayaking with his father in Bahia El Aguila. Captured on video by his father, Adrian described the terrifying moment of being swallowed and feared for both his life and his father's safety in the frigid waters. Miraculously, he was released without injury. The incident highlights the risks of whale-human interactions and the growing concern over marine wildlife suffering from threats like ship collisions.
When I came up and started floating, I was scared that something might happen to my father too, that we wouldn't reach the shore in time, or that I would get hypothermia.
Despite the terrifying experience, Dell remained focused, filming and reassuring his son while grappling with his own worry.
