In the plankton-laden water, a whale shark appears... (Sogod Bay, Leyte, Philippines, March 2020)

Sogod Bay Whale Sharks

I take you back to Sogod Bay, nicknamed "Whale Shark Bay", in the south of Leyte Island, Philippines... On my first trip there in 2008, I missed them. Twelve years later, I was luckier!
