With so many of the world’s biggest environmental stories dominated by degradation, loss and rapid change, it can be quite relieving to get a little bit of good news. In the case of the world’s humpback whales, it’s some good news the size of a bus.
“Humpback Whales,” a new IMAX documentary from MacGillivray Freeman Films, narrated by Ewan McGregor, explores the lives of these majestic creatures, their unique behaviors and their remarkable recovery from the threat of extinction. The film was shot on location in Alaska, Hawaii and Tonga over 3 1/2 years.

The film is also sponsoring an online sweepstakes featuring a grand prize trip to Alaska with a voyage aboard a ship featured in the film. U.S. residents can enter through April 3 on the film’s website.
“Humpback Whales” opens on Feb. 13. Watch an exclusive clip from the film above and a making-of webisode below.
