Dear colleagues
We found three whales in a satellite image in the Golfo Nuevo, Peninsula Valdes, Argentina. It was a chance discovery while we were made in developing planning process for the protected area The Doradillo. The whales were found in GeoEye-1 image acquired for the project. Three whales are within 100 meters coast. The first whale is with his head out of water. The second whale silhouette is submerged under water and breathing. The third whale is swimming south to Puerto Madryn city. The satellite imagery, if from a GeoEye-1 product Line Geo. Image Type: PAN / MSI. Pixel size: 0.5 meters. Multispectral Files: BGRN.
