To come eye to eye with a whale on the open sea is a supremely stirring experience! It is not without reason that countless nature enthusiasts seek out the sea in search of the gentle giants in South Africa, Australia or New Zealand. In a way, the whales have greatly profited from the public’s attention. Having won plenty of sympathy, the gentle giants nowadays benefit from an international lobby against whaling.
