Watch a whale check out an ROV 600m/2000' down in the Gulf of Mexico

NautilusLive is a project of deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard and others. They've been exploring methane seeps in the Gulf of Mexico, when this very unexpected encounter happened (go full screen if you can):


The spontaneous comments from the surprised techs and scientists are great.
