Here’s a video of a group of researchers and photographers who document Humpback whales. Just by taking pictures and labeling where they are these men are practicing geography! The data collection allows for the number of whales to be estimated as well as any patterns of movement in the ocean, effectively mapping a variable in the ocean. This means they are tracking space, one of the important issues in Geography. Also as you can see in the video, it’s quite touching and amazing to experience the human/environmental interaction. Human/environmental interaction is one of the main branches of Geography. This video shows a few different interactions, including the fact that the whale is caught in a net, made and fished with by humans, but then the whale is also freed by these men. There is no denying the unique relationship man has with nature in this video. That relationship can be explained through geography!
