 A motor coach is 45 feet long on average. A blue whale is 30% longer! If you are participating in one of Khlebnikov's End of an Era expeditions to the Arctic in 2010, you will pass through Ottawa. That's Canada's capital city. On May 22, the Canadian Museum of Nature will open the Water Gallery. Pride of place is the skeleton of a blue whale - 65 feet (20 meters) long. This is a guilt free whale watching opportunity. The female whaled  beached herself in 1975 in Newfoundland. Thirty-five years later the remains are on display. Affectionately referred to by museum staff as Tallulah, Arctic travelers can extend their stay in the capital city and pay their respects to the only blue whale skeleton on display in Canada.
