Beluga Whales - Majestic Sea Creatures at Cunningham Inlet (00020364)
(1)
Description: The Beluga whales at Cunningham Inlet on Somerset Island are a fascinating natural spectacle. Every year in July and August, thousands of these impressive animals gather here to frolic in the waters. The Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas), also known as the White Whale, is characterized by its blue-white to creamy coloration and the absence of a dorsal fin. The sight from the air is particularly impressive, as the Beluga whales majestically glide through the clear water.
