Here’s a bit of a biological interlude. I’m currently spending about two months in Nome, Alaska working for a marine gold exploration company as I explained before. I’m really loving my job so far, but I can’t share pictures or information related to my work. However, I can share some pictures from the town and surrounds. Currently, there is a giant whale carcass on one of the beaches here in Nome. I find the dead whale disgustingly beautiful, if that makes sense. I imagine the carcass will continue to decompose. Perhaps I’ll take pictures of the carcass again in a few weeks. Can anyone identify the whale species?

Is it a Beluga whale?

The carcass doesn’t smell great! The carcass is still on the Nome beach although it has washed down the coast slightly due to a storm.

I once did a quick exam of a beached whale of similar deterioration. There were several spectators but the closest to me was 30 yards away and most prefered to stay 50 or more yards away.
