This beluga whale shot taken by Andy Murch and BigFishExpeditions.com at the bottom of the Churchill River is a unique photo that you don’t see that often. Getting down to the seabed gives an incredible scale and awesome fresh look. Enjoy!

Snorkeling with the beluga whales in the Churchill River has resumed following some rough weather. The weather has calmed and silty water has settled so the visibility has improved. Here’s a recent snorkeling shot from Alex De Vries – Magnifico in Churchill!
