A video has surfaced showing two blue whales---a mother and calf---swimming in the Southern Ocean by Antarctica.

The footage was captured by a drone operated by animal conservation group Sea Shepherd, according to the Australia Broadcasting Corporation.

“Filming this endangered blue whale and her calf with a drone was unbelievable,” the drone’s pilot, Gavin Garrison, said in a statement.

“Spotting a blue whale from the deck of the Steve Irwin is a thrill, but being able to film the biggest animals on the planet from the air is truly awe-inspiring.”
