Whales breached the surface of the icy waters from "summary" of Travels in Alaska by John Muir
As I stood on the deck of the ship, gazing out at the vast expanse of icy waters before me, I witnessed a sight that took my breath away. Out of the stillness of the sea, a group of majestic whales suddenly appeared, their massive bodies breaking through the surface with a thunderous splash. The sunlight caught the spray of water as it arched gracefully through the air, creating a shimmering curtain that seemed to dance in the light. The whales moved with a fluid grace that belied their enormous size, their sleek bodies moving effortlessly through the frigid waters. As they breached the surface, I could see the powerful muscles rippling beneath their smooth skin, propelling them through the depths with an elegant strength that was truly awe-inspiring. I watched in wonder as the whales continued to breach and dive, their movements a mesmerizing ballet that seemed to defy the laws of nature. Each time they surfaced, I held my breath, waiting to catch a glimpse of their massive forms before they disappeared once more into the icy depths below. In that moment, surrounded by the stark beauty of the Alaskan wilderness, I felt a profound sense of connection to the natural world. The sight of these magnificent creatures moving through the icy waters reminded me of the incredible diversity and beauty of life on our planet, and the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy. As the whales continued their graceful dance, I felt a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to witness such a breathtaking display of nature's power and beauty. In that moment, I knew that I would carry the memory of those majestic creatures breaching the surface of the icy waters with me for the rest of my days.
