Doug Allan has filmed whales in Antarctica, off coral reefs, among the giant kelp in California and under the Arctic pack ice. Finding them depends on co-operation with scientists, skilled boat handlers on location, a special patience, and even a healthy dose of luck. Doug describes his most memorable moments in their company, when he’s witnessed some remarkable insights into their behaviour and intelligence.
We know we can talk to dogs or horses, can you also whisper to a whale?
The world for whales is changing – climate breakdown is affecting the oceans.
What does the future hold for the biggest animals on the planet?
Doug’s photographic awards include eight Emmys and five BAFTAs. He has three Honorary Doctorates in recognition of his camerawork, as well as two Polar Medals. He’s an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and of the Royal Photographic Society and was awarded the RSGS Mungo Park Medal for outstanding contribution to geographical knowledge through exploration.
