"In the early and mid-1900's, several species of whales in the Southern Ocean were hunted to the edge of extinction, but they are now gradually recovering thanks to international regulation. However, the great abundance of whales in the Antarctic region remains a thing of the past. Today the entire area around the continent of Antarctica has been declared an international whale sanctuary with whaling activities closely monitored by the International Whaling Commission (IWC)."
