Paragraph 1
A packrafter had a lucky
earlier this week after ending up in the
of a whale. Adrian Simancas, 23, was paddling through the icy waters of Patagonia, Chile, when an
humpback whale emerged from the
and engulfed him and his inflatable raft in its mouth. Luckily for Mr Simancas, the
of a humpback can only stretch to a
of 40 cm, and is ordinarily the
of a human fist. No sooner had Simancas been gulped up by the humpback than he was spat out into the
Southern Ocean. Simancas' father captured the
horrifying incident on video. He said: "Suddenly, I saw Adrian emerge from the
, along with what looked like a gigantic animal."
