Our first Southern Right whale encounter
Even though whales have been spotted from land, on Saturday afternoon we were thrilled to have our first close encounter on two Southern Right whales at Keurbooms River Mouth. When the Southern Right whales leave the Antarctic waters for the warmer Atlantic and Indian Ocean waters they want to shed their skin. They do so by breaching and slamming their bodies on the water, we saw that this 2 whales had done so before finding them due to bird’s activity on the water.
