Antarctica is seeing a dramatic return of whale populations, with large groups reappearing in numbers not recorded since before industrial whaling.
Recent studies reveal that fin whales are recovering massively in the Southern Ocean.
South Georgia island's Cumberland Bay has seen a resurgence of humpback whales, which have now nearly fully recovered over half a century after whaling stopped on the island.
Great news for whales: by the year 2024, all commercial whaling in Iceland will officially cease, the Icelandic government has declared.
