This is the incredible moment a group of paddleboarders in the Antarctic sea came face-to-face with a pod of humpback whales.<br /><br />Skylar Kaye, 23, was on an Antarctica cruise with her mother Tracy, 55, and brother Dylan, 32, in December last year when she captured the amazing moment.<br /><br />The trio, from Dallas, Texas, were out on the sea at Fournier Bay for about 45 minutes before coming into contact with eight humpback whales.<br /><br />The video shows Tracy saying "I hear a whale" minutes before two appear and blow water straight up into the air.<br /><br />Skylar, who works as a travel planner and creator, said: "It felt so surreal. I was in complete awe. <br /><br />"I felt like I was another planet; finding yourself surrounded by one of Earth's last remaining untouched wildernesses.<br /><br />"Suddenly being swarmed by massive humpback whales in every direction - you could hear them blowing and singing underwater.<br /><br />"I was about a foot away at one point. One of them swam below my board too!"
