Across the vast Southern Ocean, two humpback whales have quietly redrawn the boundaries of what their species was thought capable of — one traveling 15,100 kilometers between Queensland and Brazil over the course of decades, the other covering 14,200 kilometers in the opposite direction. Documented in a study published in Royal Society Open Science, these crossings represent the longest migrations ever recorded for humpback whales, and the first confirmed transoceanic journeys between the breeding grounds of two separate continents.
