Antarctica is the perfect place for close encounters with whales.
Description
There are up to 8 whale species to encounter in Antarctica. Humpbacks are the most sighted, followed by Minke.February and March are best months for sightings. Watching from the ship gives you a better viewing angle, but small guided zodiacs could get you that little bit closer to the action.
February and March are the best months to see whales in Antarctica. Whale numbers are at their peak, and more importantly for visitors to the area, this is when they are at their most curious.
The behaviour change in these months comes from their seasonal feeding pattern. After a long fasting period in warmer waters, whales spend the summer months gorging on food, and by February and March they are satiated, full of energy and ready to play.
