Whales of the Ross Sea

The "Whales of the Ross Sea" refers to the various whale species that inhabit the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This area is important for several whale species, including orcas, humpbacks, and minke whales, which feed on abundant marine life like krill. The Ross Sea is a protected ecosystem, and studying its whales helps scientists understand their behaviors, migration patterns, and the health of the Antarctic marine environment. These whales play a vital role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, and their presence highlights the ecological significance of this remote, icy region.
