A 18 meter long whale - in Norwegian " Finnhval " was stranded and died outside the coast of Finnmark, North Norway.
The Norwegian coastguard had to tow the dead whale out in deep waters to avoid pollution of the beaches around.
Its a tragedy and painful to see this wonderful animal stranded without a chance to escape.
