1:01Now PlayingA crewmember on board a Coast Guard ice-cutting ship got spectacular underwater sights – and sounds – of a pod of orcas swimming nearby as the ship sailed toward Antarctica.
USCG Fireman Niall Shannon attached a Go-Pro to a string and set it underwater just off the Polar Star’s bow in January. The footage shows several orcas – also known as “killer whales” and a minke whale swimming in the icy waters near the ship, even capturing one orca whale breaching through the surface.
