The blow hole of a blue whale is seen just above the surface of the Atlantic Ocean

The blow from a blue whale shoots up from the ocean surface in front of Pico Island in the Azores

@nhm-london.bsky.social has a life-size model of #BlueWhale - first saw when I was 8. Ever since, it’s been a dream to see 1, never thought I would. Y’day saw 2 off #Pico #Azores surfacing, breathing, diving in sync which is really rare, they’re usually solitary.
