Hearing them get so excited over the whale fall is so fun I love hearing people who are passionate about their work

We once had a chance to talk to Prof. Jon Copley, whose speciality is deep ocean life, and he told us about a washed-up whale carcass that researchers managed to tow back out to sea and deposit in a known spot on the seabed (just west of the Azores).

It was filmed for a documentary and it’s still there, but obviously getting the time/money/equipment to study it (once the TV crew had gone) is limited, so it’s only monitored once every few months.

I asked him “do you sometimes just think about it, like an old acquaintance, and wonder how it’s getting on?”

He gazed wistfully off at the horizon, over the gently bobbing sea surrounding our tiny boat, towards the whale-fall location, and said “yes. yes, I do.”
