Icelandic for “iceberg”, this cerulean siren is accompanied by moon and lion’s mane sea jellies of icy hue.

Humpback whales meander the surface often with the stoicism of glacial orphans, unmovable in their migratory will.

The cerulean blue realm of whales is without color to its largest inhabitants; the beasts are colorblind and refer to their shoals of prey with peripheral sight and vibrissae whiskers atop constellations of tubercle nodules.
