What is it, papa? Have you something to show us?

Ah, a whale! exclaimed Dr. Travilla, who had come up on Ned's other side.

To what genus does he belong, Captain?
human
He is a bottlenose; a migratory species, confined to the North Atlantic. It ranges far northward in the summer, southward in the winter. In the early spring they may be found around Iceland and Greenland, Western Spitzbergen, in Davis Strait and probably about Novaia Zemlia.

human
No, they do not venture in among the ice itself, but frequent open bays along its margin, as in that way they are sheltered from the open sea.
