Sighting log

When the sonar hears him, it goes in the log: the time, the place, and what he did.

  1. The narwhal's head and tusk poking up through a round breathing hole in snowy sea ice, lit green

    Through a hole in the ice.

    He came up through a breathing hole and blew once. The cloud of breath hung there, lit green.

Field note

The whale with one tooth.

Most whales stay hidden in a wallet. This one comes up for air, tusk first, where everyone can see him.

A narwhal's tusk is a single tooth. It grows out through the upper lip in a long spiral and can reach three metres. He points his at the sky.
