Hourglass Dolphins, Lagenorhynchus cruciger,

These superb cold water Dolphins were seen several times while steaming from Antarctica to South Georgia. They did not follow the ship but would swim parallel, rapidly over taking us. They would arch out of the water so that there superb colouration could be clearly seen. One of the lasting memories of this superb pelagic.
