A humpback whale briefly swallowed a kayaker in Chile, before spitting him out unharmed, an amazing escape that was all captured on video.

Kayaker Adrián Simancas describes what it was like being swallowed briefly by a humpback whale off the coast of Chile.

A kayaker thought he was dead after being briefly swallowed by a humpback whale. His father caught the biblical moment on camera.

This week saw the US president appear to blame Ukraine for starting its war with Russia, a Liverpool fan scoring the first goal at Everton's new stadium and the discovery of a pharaoh's tomb for the first time in more than a century. But how much attention did you pay to what else has been going on in the world over the past seven days?

A kayaker off the Chilean Patagonia had a very close encounter with a humpback whale. On Feb. 9, Adrian Simancas, 24, was kayaking with his father, Dell Simancas, in the Bahía El Águila area of Chile, near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan, when the pair spotted a whale. The whale then briefly “gulped” up Adrian and his kayak.

A kayaker has told of the terrifying moment he thought he was about to be swallowed and eaten by a humpback whale in southern Chile. Adrian Simancas, 24, was paddling off the coast of the Patagonian city of Punta Arenas on Saturday with his father when the huge whale leapt out of the water, scooping Adrian and his kayak into its mouth.

Talk about catch of the day. A kayaker had a close encounter with a humpback whale when he was briefly swallowed before being quickly released. The incident, caught on camera, quickly spread across the internet.
