Last week, we shared a story about Operation Zero Compromise, a mission into the Antarctic to take on Japanese whaling ships. It told of Sea Shepherd’s three-ship flotilla, comprised of The Steve Irwin, The Bob Barker, and the Gojira, and their journey from Australia into Antarctica to stop the slaughter of whales by the Japanese.

These are just a few of the pictures from their voyage.
