The site is presented in conjunction with the International Fund for Animal Welfare's research vessel, Song of the Whale. Whale Songs is an evolving resource, encouraging communication among researchers, students, educators and whale lovers worldwide.

Click on the map below and follow the experiences of one American science teacher on board Song of the Whale in the Azores Islands, joining the crew in their search for cetaceans. You can either start on the first day and follow the links from within the pages, or come back to the map and click on another date.

Note: they do NOT have a Coolest in Education category. Maybe we can fix that.
