Now we have this acoustic technology that allows us to do it with unprecedented speed and accuracy. There used to be 200,000 blue whales in these waters and now there’s something like one percent of that, it might be two percent, but it’s really hard in the vast areas here to find them. I think the most exciting achievement is just our having the ability now to find these blue whales in the really thin soup that is blue whales in the Southern Ocean right now. Overall, the mission has been tremendously successful. Words just cannot describe it, and everyone on that vessel when we first came up close to a blue whale let out a gasp. What an incredible privilege to get up close to these animals, you can’t imagine how large they are.
