A team of scientist’s ground-breaking research into a new type of killer whale has been made possible by Cookson Adventures.
The expedition began when the luxury travel company was approached by an anonymous philanthropist interested in funding killer whale research as part of a trip to the Antarctic Peninsula.
Cookson was instrumental in pairing the client with the expertise of leading killer whale expert Dr Bob Pitman and the 22-metre expedition yacht Australis, from which Dr Pitman’s team were able to conduct their research and shine a light on a type of killer whale previously unknown to science.
