Last Saturday, a remarkable incident occurred in Chile’s southernmost Patagonia region when a 24-year-old kayaker was briefly swallowed by a humpback whale during an outing with his father. The terrifying moment was captured on camera by the kayaker’s father, showcasing the whale surfacing in the Strait of Magellan and engulfing the kayaker, Adrian Simancas, for a few moments before releasing him.
In the video footage, Adrian’s father can be heard shouting instructions to his son, who was eventually spat out by the whale, prompting him to swim towards his dad’s pack raft for safety.
