Operation Divine Wind 2011/2012

Sea Shepherd's 8th Antarctic Campaign down in Southern Ocean.
Every year SSCS goes down to Antarctica to fight illegal whaling.
There is a fleet of whalers from Japan that goes inside the Southern Whale Sanctuary and hunts up to 1035 whales each season, including the endangered Fin Whale, which is the second biggest animal in the world.

I have been a photographer on board the vessel M/Y Bob Barker on Operation DIVINE WIND.
Even with the Japanese government injecting around AUS$ 30 million dollars in this already bank corrupted whaling program, Sea Shepherd has managed to save 768 whales this season.

Please visit www.seashepherd.org for more information on this subject.

There is a comprehensive album of photos from the campaign aboard the M/Y Bob Barker on my Facebook page.
Here is the link, you do not have to have a Facebook account to visualize it.
