Is Abrolhos Humpback Whale Breeding Season happening right now?

As of today, in season, building toward peak (~August 15). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Each year, humpback whales (*Megaptera novaeangliae*) migrate to the Abrolhos Archipelago off the coast of Bahia, Brazil, to breed and calve.

This event offers a unique opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat during the austral winter months.
