No whale lives in Antarctica: the continent covers 10% of the earth's surface, and whales live in salt waters.

In the Southern Ocean, you may be able to find these whales: Right, Blue, Sei, Humpback, Minke, Fin, Sperm and Killer. Of these, Killer or Orca are the shortest -- only six to 10 meters in length. As well, according to Cool Antarctica, you may also be able to find "...Southern Bottlenose whale (up to 9.75m long), Arnoux's beaked whale (to 7.5m) and the southern hourglass dolphin, the smallest Cetacean in Antarctic waters at 1.5-2m long."

What species of whales are being killed?

There are 13 species of great whales many of which exist as separate populations in the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Southern Hemisphere oceans: Bowhead (or Greenland right whale), North Atlantic right whale, North Pacific right whale, Southern right whale, Gray whale, Blue whale, Fin whale, Sei whale, Bryde's whale, Common minke whale, Antarctic minke whale, Humpback whale and Sperm whale. The first twelve of these are baleen (whalebone) whales, filter feeders with baleen plates instead of teeth and the sperm whale is the largest toothed whale. Out of these species of whales eight of them are classed as 'endangered' species and one classed as 'vulnerable' species. The rest have either been classed as 'least concerned' or 'Data Deficient'. DD means no sufficient data about that particular species to make a valid classification of the conservation status/threat the species is in. However, for the whales that is classed as 'DD' is most likely either threatened of a vulnerable species.
