Thanks so much Luca. Yes, the belugas were incredible. They are sneaky little critters. Every time I would swing around to face them, they would dive and come back up right behind me as if to laugh, "catch my image if you can!" But, the most incredible thing with the belugas is their song. They sing like canaries and you can feel it in your body when you ar ein the water with them. Have a great New Year!
That is so extraordinarily delightful! Just priceless! Elephants do the same, you can feel their low rumbles in your body when you are next to them! They don’t sing like canaries! Animals are so amazing! I hope your new year is filled with amazing moments! 🥰
Thank you Robert for mentioning the documentary “Under the thin Ice”. I remember seeing it a few years ago, before I knew anything about Jill. I have watched it again today and with the narrative that Jill posted, just wow!
Jill you have chosen such an extraordinary path for your life! Hard on you physically, emotionally and oh so not filled with comfort, scary at time and yet what a thrill!
I can understand at a much smaller scale what it feels like to have your breath taken away by the majesty of nature and it’s incredible animals. What it feels like to be scared and yet to recognize that you have been given an incredible honor. You are witnessing something truly unique and while you are enveloped by the exhilarated feeling you are experiencing , you realize that now you carry the weight and the pain of knowing the state of the destruction of the environment. You feel this urgency, this responsibility to share and warn the world of the fragility of the planet. Most people can’t even comprehend the magnitude of the problem or can’t relate to these majestic animals, their intelligence, their curiosity, the feeling of being part of nature rather than removed from it! Polar bears are cute cuddly teddy bears rather than fierce, powerful predators!
The scene where you were surrounded by narwhals and belugas must have been an experience like no other! Having them look at you, catching a glimpse at each other, recognizing each other as intelligent species who have so much right to thrive just like we do! What a moment! I fell asleep and dreamed about that! It filled my heart! Thank you!
