When diving to such great depths, whales face two challenges: storing enough oxygen to hunt successfully and withstanding the enormous pressure. High pressures change the uptake of gas in the body. Increasing pressure shrinks the air in the lungs and by 200 metres deep, both human and whale lungs will have collapsed.
