Southern Ocean

jpg [33.6 kB, 399 x 600]

Hourglass dolphins live in the southern circumpolar waters from close to the Antarctic ice pack to about 45 degrees south. They are distinctively colored but not yet well studied. Hourglass dolphins frequently bow-ride waves from ships (i.e., within the waves induced by the bow of the moving vessel). Photo courtesy of NOAA / Elizabeth Crapo.
