Streat’s current project, the Shepherd’s beaked whale, was recovered from the Chatham Islands in 2015, and arrived at her place in 2018 in a refrigerated transport truck. Since then, Streat has been managing the decomposition process—macerating (or softening) the whale’s flesh to remove all trace from the bones, then slowly and painstakingly draining the bones of oil.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 164 July - August 2020.
