A team of scientists and technicians spent three weeks living aboard the research vessel R/V Alucia off the coast of the Kaikoura Peninsula on New Zealand's South Island. They spent most of their days in small boats pursuing one of the ocean's most iconic and elusive species: the sperm whale. Blog URL is below.
Image Of the Day caption:
MIT-WHOI Joint Program graduate student Julie van der Hoop snapped this quick self-portrait as she prepared to locate a whale tag with a VHF antenna in the spring of 2013. Van der Hoop was part of an expedition led by Michael Moore, a WHOI marine biologist and director of the Marine Mammal Center, to study the physiology and behavior of whales that feed in and around the Kaikoura Canyon, a deep, productive part of the ocean just off the coast of New Zealand's North Island.
