Massive Pod of Several Hundred Fin Whales | Antarctica | Lindblad Expeditions
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reports from the waters off Coronation Island, where a massive pod of fin whales has been observed. The group is estimated to consist of anywhere from two hundred to as many as four hundred individuals. The observer describes a continuous field of chimney spouts appearing on the surface, noting that the visible whales represent only a small portion of the total number present beneath the water. The video highlights the intense concentration of the animals, which are described as being so numerous that they are bumping into one another. The creator also mentions the distinct scent of the whales, comparing the smell of their breath to rotten broccoli. The presence of such a large pod is attributed to the location being one of the largest upwelling zones on the planet. This environmental feature provides an incredible bounty of krill, which supports the massive population of whales in the area.
