    Moorings sitting in the ocean for the past two years could be the key to discovering how many sperm whales live in the Ross Sea

    Moorings sitting in the ocean for the past two years could be the key to discovering how many sperm whales live in the Ross Sea


    A group of NIWA scientists have set sail for Antarctica to check whale sound detection devices.

    They include Dr Matt Pinkerton, who says there may be too much sea ice for them to live that far south.

    He says they want to see whether the ice affects where the whales go at different times in the year.
