Southern Ocean whale expedition
1 February 2010
Dr Nick Gales is a Marine Biologist and head of the Australian Marine Mammals Centre.
This summer he will lead a team of scientists on a voyage studying humpback, blue and Antarctic minke whales as part of the Southern Ocean Research Partnership.
It's hoped the information gathered on the joint Australia-New Zealand expedition will shed some light on whale behavior and breeding habits in the Southern Ocean.
