The Steve Irwin has been chasing the Japanese whaling fleet for twenty-four hours at high speed through scattered ice fields and changing weather conditions for over three hundred miles westward across the top of the Ross Sea.

The ship with the water cannons is the factory boat.

Sorry Japan, whaling season has been suspended while you run from the Steve Irwin.

on edit: I see the Japanese have a new illegal tactic...

3. They are attacking the ship with military type weapons?
Unreal. Got to hand it to the captain and crew of the Sea Shepherd, brave souls. I hope this doesn't spiral out of control and the Japanese wind up killing someone.
