Rescue
Dedicated conservationists are gathered on New Zealand’s Farewell Spit between the north and south islands to try to save about 100 whales stranded on the beach. They are the survivors of a pod of 400 or so who ran adrift on sand. The most recent reports suggest the rescuers have been able to re-float as many as 50 of the whales.
