Have you ever wondered what it's like to see the world through the eyes of a whale? Well here's your chance... sit back, relax and be a minke whale for a while.

 

 

In a world-first, scientists in Antarctica have attached a camera to a minke whale. These 'whale cams' were funded by WWF-Australia and the information from these cameras will help scientists to identify important minke feeding areas and help establish a future marine protected area in their Antarctic home.
