Wow, I'd have gone in a heartbeat to get that close to such an animal. Had anything been on it, with all that ripped open carcass? It will be interesting to see what the scientists find. Thanks for sharing such a different and unique experience!
I believe it is still there, but will likely be washed away in the next week or two by the high tide series. We started at Westchester Lagoon and walked toward turning an arm. Keep going till you go over a bridge there and then there’s a beaten down pathway leading to it.
@ I knew that a long time ago but didn’t know if it was still true. Thank you. Were any of those cuts from Natives, or all researchers? And, can Natives share their takings? Sorry bout all the q’s. I just find the lifestyle fascinating.
@readytogo6569 I don’t mind questions, I frequently watch videos from people who live a complete different lifestyle and I and find it fascinating. I believe some of the pieces that were removed from the whale were probably from Alaskan natives. It is common that Alaskan natives use parts of sea mammals as artwork, and then they are able to sell them.
That say there is a high tide series in a couple weeks that may carry it out to open water. Then again, it might just bring it in closer to Anchorage and drop it off again.😂
Took my son down to see the whale last week. Supper windy and perfect conditions to see it.
Nice. Allegedly it should be swept away by the tide in the next week or two.
Wow. That’s huge. Amazing experience no doubt. What a journey to get there. lol. Have a blessed weekend!
Thank you. We took the hardest way there, the trip back was much easier.
@@RaisedinAlaskathat’s how it goes for me too. I always told our kids it makes you appreciate the easier things more. lol. Stay warm!

@@MooseManNaturePhotos I initially heard about it a week ago, and when my son got home for Thanksgiving he wanted to go see it.
Is it still there ? Where did you start walking ?

Sad, but cool, too. Are any parts of it used by locals (whale oil, for instance?), or is it illegal to do so?
@@readytogo6569 Alaska natives can harvest marine mammals.

@@taffyterry1860 Beautiful creature.

Sounds cold!!
@cnlights2 I think it was 5°F, a little on the cold side.
@RaisedinAlaska 🥶
That is gonna smell yummy come spring/summer.

4 weeks in the future reporting, still there.
@ I heard it was still there and that the tide hadn’t taken it away. Sure hope it is carried back out to sea before summer.
I keep hearing Matt Damon spew Nolanisms...
😂
Hope your sons ok after slipping on the embankment!
Thank you, he was unharmed. I nearly had that edited out.😉
