Every year around the month of June, the whales arrive in El Doradillo, stretching along the coast of Golfo Nuevo in the Argentine Patagonia, from Antarctica.

The endangered species migrates annually from its icy feeding grounds off Antarctica to warmer climates.

The tiny inlet on the Argentina Atlantic coastline is one of the few places on Earth where the whales can be seen from the shore.

2. No, not at all - they are only RIGHT whales in the Southern Hemisphere. The orientation flips if....

one looks at them from the Northern Hemisphere.

(Just imagine a transparent globe and a counterclockwise basis attached to each whale. See...?)

3. The coriolis effect is opposite in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the Northern Hemisphere the same whale is called the Northern Left Whale, mainly because of the opposite coriolis forces.
