A rare encounter – Southern Right Whales

The last two days, as we started to make our way from Antarctica to South Georgia, have been rather whale-rich. Two pig pods of fin whales with probably a couple hundred animals feeding close to the surface. To top it all, we got a spectacular encounter today with three southern right whales playing in the water, rolling their bodies, showing their flukes and interacting with hourglass dolphins. A really unique sighting of a once heavily hunted species.
