BBC - Earth News - Rare whale gathering sighted: "A large group of a rarely sighted, mysterious species of whale has been seen off the coast of Antarctica.
Approximately 60 Arnoux's beaked whales were seen and photographed frolicking on the surface in the Gerlache Strait.
Few sightings of this enigmatic species are made in the wild, and even fewer in waters near to shore.
The sighting, of the largest group ever recorded, is also the first time this species of whale has been seen socialising at the water surface.
Marine biologists have published details of the sighting in the journal Marine Mammal Science"
