April 11th to April 25th 2009
This trip was primarily to join the Biosphere Expedition studying Sperm Whales. I spent one week visiting two other islands before taking the ferry to Faial.
This page shows wildlife photographs of the trip but for general photos please link to General Photographs of The Azores 2009.
