Photograph by @paulnicklen // A bowhead whale smashes its tail on the surface off the East coast of Baffin Island, Nunavut. This display went on for half an hour. The older a bowhead whale is, the more white they have on their peduncle and tail. Science is showing that these whales are the longest living mammals on Earth, reaching ages of 200 years old or more. Please follow me on @paulnicklen to see underwater images of this rarely seen species. #nature #whale #wildlife @elplanetaphoto @sea_legacy @cristinamittermeier
