Wildland Tours has been promoting Newfoundland and Labrador-based orca watching trips since the 1990s. This book summarizes many of the pioneering discoveries travellers and local whale enthusiasts have made about the region's orcas.

Updated to fix a few minor errors in midMay 2011 so this lost the 80 "likes" for the earlier version.
