As of today, peak season now, through ~August 15. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Nazca Lines, a series of ancient geoglyphs in Peru's Nazca Desert, include depictions of marine life, notably a 72-foot-long 'killer whale holding a knife.' These lines intersect with the migratory routes of humpback whales (*Megaptera novaeangliae*), which travel along the Peruvian coast from June to September for breeding and calving.
This intersection offers a unique cultural and natural phenomenon where ancient art aligns with modern wildlife patterns.
