Yesterday we continued our journey along the Antarctic Peninsula. On the way to an island along the Peninsula we saw some killer whales feeding on a minkewhale or a couple of leopard seals. On our ship we have two whale researchers called Bob and John and their favorite whales are killer whales so, after everyone got some pictures they rushed out on a zodiac and shot three arrows off a crossbow onto a whales dorsal fin (which didn’t hurt the whale.) The three arrows got two DNA samples and a satellite tag so they could see where the male went. They said that they would probably go up the coast of South America almost to Brazil.
