“Dense mass floating on water after snowfall”, as translated by the Eastern Greenlandic language of Tunumiisut.
The alabaster white of this Humpback’s lower jaw is wintry in pigment, much like the slush of an icescape harboring prized pinnipeds.
This denizen casts her gaze upon a swarm of krill, each drifting under her watch like a precious jewel pried from a pelagic crown.
