Close Encounter
These two young ladies appear unfazed, smiling and giving each other a high five as a great white shark swims right up next to them. This photo was taken in the waters of California, where the two were traveling and filming for a documentary.
Kelly, one of the young ladies in the photo, proudly shares that they were so close to the shark that they could see its fins and gills in great detail.
