A Sperm Whale`s Ballet

28. June 2008

Franz Feldmann, Ex-Volunteer, Photographer

Once in Tarifa - forever whale watching! After being a volunteer here two years ago, I was drawn again to the Strait of Gibraltar for three days. An experience I will never forget! During our last excursion (there were four altogether) there was nothing to watch for a long time - but then… Two blows - close together! Two sperm whales…who stayed in the same spot until we reached them with our boat! Keeping a respectful distance we watched their behaviour until they decided to dive underwater simultaneously. A ballet in the Strait of Gibraltar! Incredibly impressive!
