Located just above the Arctic Circle on Somerset Island in Nunavut, Canada, Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge is the most northerly lodge in Canada and offers plenty of opportunities for viewing incredible iconic Arctic animals like beluga whales, polar bears, muskox, Arctic fox and hares, ring and bearded seals, snowy owls, peregrine falcons and much more. Rated as the top beluga whale watching site on the globe by CNN, the belugas at the Arctic Watch Lodge were also featured in the BBCs Frozen Planet documentary on the Arctic.

Beautiful shot, I don’t know what kind of sound they make, but I definitely heard one-long and haunting- when I looked at the photo.
Is it a rare sighting? I haven’t seen this type of dolphin for years. I really worry about their extinction.
Beautiful & Amazing Shot Paul!!
