The biology student Oliver Nowak at Aarhus University read about the discovery in Løgten Bay, approximately 25 kilometers northeast of Aarhus, on Facebook on Tuesday. He packed a camera and headed there.
It's rare that we have sperm whales in the Kattegat, he says to TV2 Østjylland.
Another who headed there was Allan Würtz, who is a diver. He describes it as a slightly special experience. That the whale was dead was obvious, it lay with its belly upwards and you could also see it in the whale's eyes, he tells TV2.
Sperm whales are around five meters long at birth and 15 meters long as adults. It's not the first time this area has been visited by a sperm whale. For example, a sperm whale was observed at different locations in Danish waters in 2023, including at the harbor in Aarhus, writes the news agency Ritzau.
