The Joppa Whale
Sperm whale-dead-Joppa-Portobello-Edinburgh-Scotland-Physeter macrocephalus-12
View of sperm whale carcass with Cockenzie Power Station in the background. You can see some of the damage on the whale's underside, particularly around the area of the (characteristically narrow in sperm whales) lower jaw. At least some of these gashes were likely caused on the rocks of Portobello Beach at Joppa.
Location: Joppa, Portobello Beach, with Cockenzie Power Station, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
