Watch the largest feeding frenzy of gigantic fin whales ever caught on video
As much as 85 feet long and weighing 80 tons, fin whales are the second largest animals on Earth, after the Blue Whale. Previously at risk of extinction thanks to idiot human hunters, the species is bouncing back following a 1982 moratorium on commercial whaling. See the above video depicting the largest gathering of gigantic fin whales ever caught on film. Their feast occurred in the Drake Passage off the Antarctica Peninsula. From National Geographic:

Battling terrible weather conditions and 95 knots of wind, Bertie and the team pushed through to capture the incredible moment.
