Two whale tales. In case you want some good vibrations. In 2017, marine biologist Nan Hauser was in the Cook Islands working on a documentary about humpback whales. She slid off the boat with her go pro camera on and swam towards some whales they observed.

Learning in the blue! As an archaeologist, every time I start a project, I try to remember that, as modern as our scientific techniques are, we shouldn't abandon our traditional skills/observational methods honed over millions of years of evolution in this environment.

When a titian dies! Whales, when they perish, start a process of decomposition. Sometimes they become whale falls, and sometimes they wash ashore. In nature, stranding onshore encouraged a host of other animals to feed on their carcass before humans started to take advantage
