THE WHALES ARE BACK

Download
The Whales Are Back -Last century, southern right whales were hunted until there were none left—none that we could find. A small group of these whales, also called tohorā, hid from the harpoon. Deep in the subantarctic, the survivors birthed and nursed their young. Now, tohorā are returning to the coasts of New Zealand to shelter over winter. Are we ready for them?
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 166 October November 2020.
