Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Tina Dalton dedicates this film “to the gentle leviathans of the sea, whose beauty and innocence have awakened me.” Aboard the Tall Ship “Anna Kristina”, a team of scientists and Tina observe and interact with Humpback Whales of Platypus Bay. This video captures rare images of these giants, leaping out of the water in a spectacular display of strength and grace, interacting with Tina in a special show of trust and males fighting for mating supremacy. Share the joy with a team of rescuers as they save a stranded whale.
