Sighting of the fin whale in the Eastern Subtropical South Pacific: Potential breeding ground?

Here we report a sighting of a large school of fin whales on 30th May 2010 approximately 2,810 km west of the continental coast of Chile (21°27'S, 97°34'W). This sighting supports the limited available information that fin whales migrate to Sub-tropical open ocean waters during the austral...
