but each moment is a revelation
for Roper and his colleagues.
"The interesting thing here,
you can, you can hear that these
different coda that we're hearing,
um, each one is
slightly different and,
and every once in a while
we hear a buzz.
"Now the whales have stopped.
The, the camera is pointing
right down,
uh, right down into the skin
of the, of the whale
that's, uh, that's carrying
the crittercam.
"There see, now I'm hearing that,
hearing that buzz which is...
That's fantastic, that's so...
Yeah, that's a fantastic sound,
that long, long buzzing sound and,
uh, this is, uh, what, we believe is
the sonar that they're using for,
when they're actually hunting,
a prey organism
and they're zeroing-in on the prey
and getting closer and closer to it.
"Now they're starting
to move again and,
uh, have turned and turned back
towards the surface
because now we can see,
uh, the lighted,
uh, the background that's lighted.
So they're heading back up
to the surface.
"Whoa! There comes
another one,
right across in front of the camera."
"There's two more.
Look at that!"
"And there's a, there's a third one
over on that side on the right.
So, that makes four whales...
The, the crittercam has been
knocked off,
that's how closely, uh, the whales were
to each other,
really rubbing along,
uh, side-by-side."
But this and other crittercam dives
make the expedition a stunning success.
"We were able,
for the very, very first time,
to enter into the deep-sea domain
of the sperm whale.
on the whale, um,
we were able to get down to
and how the animal actually behaves
down in those depths."
But the sperm whales seem blissfully
unaware of our efforts to enter
and understand their world.
They have appointments
to keep far below,
which we can still see
only our imagination.
One day,
in the not too distance future,
a living portrait of Architeuthis-
and one of the last great challenges
in natural science
and photography will be met.
But for the moment,
we must contemplate these great whales
as we always have,
fascinated by their physical powers,
tantalized by the secrets they hold
Two-thirds of our planet lies
in the deep ocean,
and that mysterious realm
is their home.
Clyde Roper and his colleagues seem
undaunted by the obstacles they face
- happily engrossed in the hunt
for the creature that fascinates them.
Perhaps there is much truth
in John Steinbeck's observation,
that men need sea monsters
that an ocean
with its nameless creatures
