Hourglass dolphins, Lagenorhynchus cruciger, are a truly pelagic species of dolphin. They are found throughout the southern oceans of the world and are circumpolar in their distribution. They range between 43 degrees south (S) and 67 degrees S and are most often associated near the Antarctic convergence. The farthest northern sighting of this species was off of the coast of Chile, 33 degrees 40' S (Goodall, 1997; Leatherwood and Reeves, 1983)
