"We're still escorting them, they're about two hundred miles (321 kilometres) north of 60 and the Sun Laurel, their tanker, is another two hundred miles north of the Nisshin Maru," he said.

"So, they're on a course direct for Indonesia.

"So hopefully that means they're going home. We don't know for sure but they're definitely leaving the whaling ground".

Sea Shepherd claims the fleet killed no more than 75 whales, the smallest haul in the history of its Antarctic hunt.

Approximately 900 whales saved!
