One coast. Sixteen journeys.

Measured NOAA terrain and bathymetry are embedded. Port pins are geographic anchors; local harbor structures and wildlife are illustrative.

About the animals and scenery

Blue whales feed on krill. The companions, fish, jellyfish, kelp, and feeding patches are procedural, not live sightings. Northern destinations represent potential range, not guaranteed whale encounters. Exploration light and seafloor survey are cinematic aids; blue whales do not echolocate or illuminate the sea.

Sources & geographic accuracy

Elevation: NOAA NCEI DEM mosaics, fetched September 30, 2026; 257 × 257 samples per region, about 210–260 m spacing, rounded to the nearest meter. Horizontal and vertical scene units are meters; no vertical exaggeration. The shoreline is the grid’s sea-level contour, so docks and narrow channels are not survey-accurate. Terrain is embedded and requires no map fetch. Nearby rocks and organisms are procedural detail.
