When you see whales in Antarctica, you can be sure they have come a long way, usually swimming thousands of miles. The Southern Ocean is the world's largest feeding ground for marine mammals, which explains why ten different species of whales are attracted here each year. On your cruise, you will have the opportunity to see orcas, humpback whales and minke whales. And you may even see the largest animal that has ever lived on earth: the blue whale.
