The tourists were were taking a tour through icebergs in the Gerlache Strait, Antarctica, when they saw the incredible chase taking place in front of their eyes.
Travel blogger Matt Karsten, 40, told the Daily Mail:
‘It was crazy to see in person. It was like watching a National Geographic episode on location. I imagine the penguin was very relieved to get away.
‘We were heading out for a scenic Zodiac cruise between icebergs when a large pod of orcas showed up playing in the water besides us.
‘They swam right up to the camera and said hello. Suddenly the orcas started chasing a gentoo penguin trying to eat it.
‘Back and forth they went with the penguin swimming fast with the orcas on its trail. Eventually the poor penguin tried to jump into a nearby zodiac boat.
‘The penguin failed at first, falling back into the water, but then managed on the second attempt.
‘The orcas did follow the zodiac boat for a while. They did give up in the end leaving the penguin safe with his new friends.”
The penguin could be the gilgul neshama of a man who chased another man and scared him to death, this was his punishment.
So are we happy for the penguin or are we disappointed for the whale?? What if he catches him? Are we happy for the whale or disappointed for the penguin?? The whale also needs to eat.
