Fluke of Visby Confirmed in the catalog

Visby @17963

"Visby" was adopted and named by Johanna Schröter, who states, "Visby is the name of a city on a Swedish Island called Gotland. My family and I spend our summer there every year. The encounter I had with the whale in Antarctica was so significant, I wanted to pick a name that is equally important to me and my family. The whale came incredibly close to my Zodiac and was very curious, then turned back, dived under the boat and swam off blowing and singing."
