The Whalenerd‘s Podcast Whalenerds

With some down time from the ship, Katlyn took an adventure in Chile with her family before embarking again for the Southern Ocean. Hear about her trips with a new species of penguin, seals, boat rides and more. Her last South Georgia combo trip was also quite challenging in the midst of site closures on the island due to avian flu.

Three Antarctic Peninsula trips in one month. Whew! It was a lot but there were so many whales and cool science! Hear more about Katlyn's time in the ice and what it's like to spend Christmas and New Year's in the Drake Passage.

As avian flu continued to spread on the island of South Georgia, trips became more challenging. Listen to Katlyn's stories of the next month worth of trips in this region and how things developed on the island for the summer season. She also had some awesome whale sightings - including killer whales twice!

After a small break - Katlyn is back with updates from the Southern Hemisphere. Hear about her first trip of the season to South Georgia and Antarctica. More to come!

Katlyn gives a review of the last part of her Alaska season and talks about a few bonus trips at the end.

Catch up with Katlyn as she gives a mid-season update on her routes along the Alaska / BC inside passages, The Gulf of Alaska, the Aleutians and the Bering Sea. She also shares some information about the devastation of the fires on Maui and what that might mean for whale season and the state of the island itself.
