Bit of confusion going on here. This is actually Black Nab, which looks like a submarine conning tower at high tide, as as the tide slowly ebbs, it looks as if a submarine's casing is appearing. Some of the photos in this highlight do look like a profile view of a whale, but that is Saltwick Nab which is a couple hundred metres further north.
