Blue whales

Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) migrate annually past the southern most point of Sri Lanka at Dondra Head. Here the continental shelf comes very close to the land, bringing with it a rich bio-diversity of life, feeding on the nutrient rich waters. From December to April, blue Whales can be seen in numbers far greater than almost anywhere else on the planet, making Sri Lanka the number one destination to see these majestic beings.
