Looking for whales in the Antarctic Peninsula

In 2023 AWR funded a proposal from Norwegian Polarinstitute to map whales in the Gerlache. The preliminary results are already here!

Over 27 days in April May 2024 a team of Mammal Observers carried out observations from the vessel Antarctic Endurance

They covered 1098 km in total, and around 150 hours of observation effort, which gave 480 observations of which 907 were individual whales, across 8 different species.

Some interesting findings and we are looking forward to the final report
