Don't miss the brand new series - Tuesday at 10pm on Discovery UK

Highlighting both the controversial whaling trade and the tactics that Sea Shepherd and its staff and volunteers use to attempt to cripple it, Whale Wars documents the groups three-month journed across the icy Antarctic waters at the far end of the globe. Each week, viewers will embark on a powerful and adrenaline-fueled adventure and spotlight how Sea Shepherd take action against alleged illegal whaling operations. The Societys fight to eradicate Japanese whaling on the high seas - where international laws are interpreted by different countries and organizations in different ways - utilizes some aggressive techniques, including ramming and disabling whaling ships; disrupting whale carcass processing; engaging in physical entanglement; and boarding and dispersing fleets of whaling vessels.
