In this photo released 14 December 2007 and made availble 17 December shows a gam of Minke whales pass icebergs in the Southern Ocean off the Australian Antarctic Territory. The new glacial ice Wilkins Runway situated 70kms from the Australian research station of Casey will allow Australian scientists to greatly expand their studies on the effects climate change is having on Antarctica's fragile environment by providing 20-30 flights from Hobart each summer. The first passengers will be a survey team of whale counters likely to land next week.
