Observations of Marine Mammals and Other Animals During the Antarctic Expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1957-1958) (Nablyudeniya za Morskimi Mlekopitayushchimi i Drugimi Zhivotnymi v Antarkticheskoi Ekspeditsii Akademii Nauk SSSR (1957-1958 gg.))
During 1957/58 The Complex Marine Antarctic Expedition investigated the distribution of cetaceans. About 5000 whales were observed during the 180-day cruise. About 4000 whales were observed during the 105 days in the ice zone of Antarctica. Many whales were encountered beyond the ice boundaries, i.e...
