Photo by @jasperdoest | Due to very calm conditions last month while crossing from the Falklands (Malvinas) to South Georgia, we spent many hours at the bow of the M.S. National Geographic Explorer, during which we encountered many different cetaceans, including this enormous pod of southern right whale dolphins porpoising at high speed.

The southern right whale dolphin (Lissodelphis peronii) is a small and slender species of mammal found in cool waters of the Southern Hemisphere. The species was named so because, like right whales, they lack a dorsal fin.

These animals generally travel in pods of fewer than 100 animals but may be seen in herds of more than 1,000 individuals. They are energetic swimmers that feed on a variety of fish species and squid and are often seen associating with dusky and hourglass dolphins, and pilot whales.
