At least 31 pilot whales have died after a mass stranding at a New Zealand beach known to be a notorious spot for whale deaths.
Wildlife officials said the pod was first spotted on Thursday, beached across three kilometres of Farewell Spit on the South Island.
On Friday, rescuers managed to refloat five whales who had survived the night.
