A mother sperm whale is nursing her calf between the eastern Aegean islands of Ikaria and Mykonos. Milk can be seen floating on the surface, which is a rare sighting.

This image was captured from the microlight airplane of Wings for Science during a joint expedition with Archipelagos Institute.


We are surrounded by seas which we know little about. It’s impossible to protect the rare wildlife of our seas if we are unaware of its importance!

Let’s all help in sharing the knowledge about life in our seas!
