A drone captured stunning footage of a humpback whale with a missing tail in Alaska's Inside Passage.
The whale, nicknamed Catalyst by experts, is believed to have lost its tail fluke due to entanglement in fishing gear.
The drone video, taken by National Geographic expert Eric Guth, has raised awareness about marine conservation and the threats faced by wildlife.
This footage highlights the importance of using drone technology for wildlife observation and underscores the role of cruises in promoting exploration and conservation efforts.
