The "Blue Ghost" is the name we have given to the world's only known White/Blue Whale.

This whale was encountered by our field research team on March 3, 2026 in Mexico.

Thanks to the invaluable work of the biologists who collaborate with Whale Guardians, a significant amount of data is being collected at this moment in Antofagasta Bay, Chile. A team led by Ana María García Cegarra, a cetacean conservationists and assistant professor at the University of Antofagasta, are doing field research on a weekly basis since the start of January, continuing through all of February and early March. Though coming to a close, it has been a very active Fin Whale season.

Antofagasta and the northern coast of Chile harbor an important habitat for multiple resident and migratory species of great whales like Fin Whales, along with Humpback Whales, the occasional Blue Whale, and even Eastern South Pacific Southern Right Whales, which are critically endangered and face severe risk of collisions with vessels that are heading into or out of the port of Antofagasta.

Happy birthday to one of our founders and most active team members, Heather Watrous.

Hope you see many more whale flukes in the coming years.

Here she is with her son Galen, doing what they both love!

The first fluke is of a Blue Whale. The second fluke is of a Humpback Whale. Both videos were taken the same day about an hour apart.

The Whale Pump in full action!

The Whale Pump is the process in which baleen whales bring valuable nutrients from the depths of the ocean and up to the surface, particularly phosphorus, nitrogen, and iron, that are vital for phytoplankton blooms, which are one of the principal food sources for multiple critical species in our oceans.

Whale f***s is considered one of the primary fertilizers for our oceans.

That is why we love seeing whale p**p! Especially from our healthy white Blue Whale in the Sea of Cortez.

The smallest whale in the world, a Dwarf S***m Whale, next to the largest whale in the world, a Blue Whale, which happens to be the biggest animal ever known to exist on planet Earth, including dinosaurs 😉.

These two pictures were taken three minutes apart.

The Sea of Cortez is truly a magical place.
