This is the second major stranding in just a week at Farewell Spit, which is known as a whale cemetery.

At the same time, volunteers also protect whales that are stranded from the sun, until they can float themselves at high tide.

The conservationists said they would try to bring the whales back and go to the sea before dark.

Last week, a 39-member whale died after a landslide in the Farewell Spit area, 150km from the tourist city of Nelson.

Pepper whales are the most common creature in the whale family living in the waters of New Zealand.

The fact that this whale is stranded in large numbers is a common phenomenon in this country, especially in the Farewell Spit area.

Scientists are still unable to explain why this marine mammal swims ashore into such large groups.
