Rare White Whale caught on film in Norway (VIDEO)

A rare white humpback whale was spotted off the coast of the Arctic archipelago Svalbard, according to the Daily Mail. Even though they're tempting, hold off on those Moby Dick quips. Melville's infamous scourge of Captain Ahab was a sperm whale.

The all-white humpback whale was spotted by 32-year-old Dan Fisher, originally (and fittingly enough) from North Wales, while he was out on a boat crossing from mainland Norway toward the Norwegian islands that make up Svalbard.

Fisher was able to capture pictures of the great white whale, viewable below.
