THE WHALES OF PENINSULA VALDES - year 2004

by Orkaena - last update: Jul 20, 2009

Tail caress...

soft touch..
The whale watching has special interest in our winter, these kind giants are arriving every july from the Antarctic Sea for the births and their late passion meetings.
I enjoyed a lot spending films under the cold and rainy weather, but after meet once more than this incredibles creatures face to face I forget the cloudy sky and felt warm inside.
Here they are, my beloved friends, the whales.
Watching us

Kind and smooth

This 40 tons young female whale appeared suddenly beneath us, just at centimeters not even brush against the boat. Powerful, smooth, polite. What an example for us.

The boyfriend

Here is the boyfriend of the upper pic female whale, well, may be he want to be but she was not so convinced. Then the dance began around us.
Take a look, coz this male whale is different.
He is white.
The courting boy
Hey boy, are you serious?

Slow down, you move too fast...

Now the female whale is swimming inverted, you are looking her stomach. Why?
Because the male under his back is looking for sex!!
And she do not allow sex without a formal date before...

A Dino head? nones, an Orca head...

This misterious animal is so extraordinary alive as dead, (although I do prefer them alive...)here is the head of an orca skeleton hanged from the Ecocentro ceiling.
Simply stunning.
Learning about orca's anatomy
Our beloved Central Patagonia Coast

Unforgettable shapes

Manu is beside the map of the Central Patagonia coast, it is a blank map inside a glass box full of bubbling water. Ladies and gentlemen, at your right beyond the main entrance of Ecocentro.
Delicious.

Another point of view

Another point of view of the Patagonia and the South Atlantic Ocean, a 3D map of the bottom of the sea. You will feel like a spell on you, trying to identify where are you stepping
The South Atlantic and the Patagonia
View from an U.F.O. ...

Watching from the outerspace...

Something incredible, you're in one of the southernmost lands on the earth, don't be afraid about the weight of the whole planet on your shoulders... ;-D
