SEASON 2009 - 2010

Experts in marine fauna and navigation in the Chilean southernmost fjords waters. Our  staff has more than 10 years of experience exploring southern Chile and a well known reputation and expertise.
Our expedition leader  is Carlos Valladares (Marine biologist).
The scientific team,sharing their knowledge, includes  cethologist Juan Capella (Humpback whale specialist) and ornithologist Yerko Vilina
.

Organization conformed by a group of biologists and naturalistic with a deep interest in the Conservation of the small cetaceans and marine mammals in general in the southern area of Chile. The activities of the Society include the design and making of programs of environmental education, the conduction of educational programs based on an interactive methodology that integrates the theory and experience; the logistical support to expeditions and investigation groups via marine. 
In constant form we are developing a program of intense exploration in areas few described in fauna terms and flora in the archipelago patagónico, according to which we are generating a database on which the regulations and behavior codes are built for an ecological and sustainable tourism in these pristine costs. 
We believe firmly that the field investigators today in day they should assume an ethical responsibility in only not to share the information with the widest public, socializing concepts with a high degree of technical term in a way that is comprehensible for all public, but also to develop the tools that assure that this information will be used in a way that promotes the conservation of the natural and cultural patrimony.

Carlos III island area, Straits of Magellan
A rugged uninhabited scenery of  towering mountains, glaciers, fjords, rivers and waterfalls.
The land of old canoeros communities (kaweskar), discovered by Hernando de Magallanes and explored by Sarmiento de Gamboa, John Naeborough and Robert Fitz Roy (HMS Beagle expedition) among others.
Home to significant concentrations of wildlife with colonies of Southern sea lions and Fur seals, cormorants, magellanic penguins and skuas.
Carlos III waters are the first known feeding ground for humpback whales along the Pacific coast of South America.


These gentle giants are famous for their singing abilities. Their unique hunting skill, called bubblenet feeding, involves a group of humpbacks working together to capture schools of herring. Each whale has a particular role in the process: One whale swims in a circle while blowing bubbles under a school of herring. When the bubbles rise, the school ofherring can not escape and form into a tight ball in the center. Other whales vocalize -grunting or screaming - to scare the herring to the surface. The whales then rise with their mouths wide open to captur elarge amounts of fish.
