"UK scientists have demonstrated the practicality of counting whales
from space.

The researchers, from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), have been
using the highest resolution satellite pictures available.

Even when taken from 620km up, this imagery is sharp enough to capture
the distinctive shapes of different species."

Via Muse, who wrote: "So KEWL!"
