- phamilton 4y agoThat's ambergris, often called "floating gold" which also comes from sperm whales. The whaling in Avatar 2 was exceptionally well done IMO. Everything from the hunt (complete with the "nantucket sleigh ride") to a new "liquid gold" and the incredible waste after harvesting are all in line with actual whaling practices.
