Photos from: Local humpback obtains longest re-sighting record




Submitted Photo

Researchers studying whales in Frederick Sound this summer identified a male humpback that was first sighted 44 years ago near Lynn Canal. Old Timer's fluke is shown here during the recent, July 12 sighting (left), and the first sighting in 1978 (right) by researcher Charles Jurasz. Patterns and markings on the whale's flukes help researchers in identifying and documenting whales.
