Frosty and his family ventured over 2,000 kilometres north of home
A rare white orca was spotted off the waters of Telegraph Cove.
In a news release, the Pacific Whale Watch Association said the whale, named Frosty, was 2,000 kilometres north of California of its home in California and over 2,500 kilometres away from the last sighting in Tijuana Mexico.
When tour captain Scott Turton spotted Frosty thought it might be T46B1B Tl’uk, a white orca known throughout the Salish Sea, but it became clear that he had seen a different whale. Turton recalled that another white orca had been documented in California and reached out to researcher Alisa Schulman-Janiger with the California Killer Whale Project.
