Description
In the quiet waters off Kekerten, a bowhead whale rises gently through the surface—an extraordinarily rare encounter with one of the Arctic’s most elusive giants. For a few fleeting moments, its immense form moved silently beside us, offering a powerful reminder of the ancient lives still unfolding beneath these northern seas.
