From Sea Shepherd Global: RARE SIGHTING! Yesterday, while maintaining pursuit of the Thunder, the crew of The MV Bob Barker was visited by a pod of the very rare, very playful Orcas. First identified in 1955 after a stranding in New Zealand, this species known as ‘‘Type D” Killer whales was not seen again for almost 50 years! Still today, there remain only a handful of sightings. The pod of about 12, which included a small juvenile and large male, stayed with the Bob Barker for almost 1 hour, surfing the 6-metre swell. As the crew of the The MV Sam Simon enters its 3rd day of retrieving the illegal gillnet left behind by the Thunder, this special moment is a poignant reminder of the delicate beauty of Antarctica, and why it’s so important that we continue to Defend * Conserve * Protect this last, great wilderness. https://facebook/seashepherdglobal #SeaShepherd #OperationIcefish #Antarctica #Wildlife
