Antarctic Blue Whale, Kaikoura, New Zealand

The Antarctic Blue Whale is the largest animal in the world, weighing up to 400,000 pounds and reaching up to 98 feet in length. A calf surfaces to spout while the mother accompanies it. As autumn descends, the blue whales leave the cooling Antarctic waters and journey north in search of warmer feeding grounds. Here they are passing through Kaikoura, New Zealand.
