The whale is currently on the beach until Friday
The mammal, found Tuesday, appears to have been dead for days and is believed to have succumbed to heavy rains.
The owner of the Kerayvoty reserve, Julio Medina, said that help would be sought from the National Directorate of Aquatic Resources (Dinara). He also noted that the animal appeared to be a blue whale.
An official report eventually emerged, revealing that the base received a formidable one-meter snow deposit, while the summit was inundated with an astonishing 2.5 meters of snow. However, despite this awe-inspiring snowfall, the eagerly anticipated moment when enthusiasts can hit the slopes remains uncertain.
The reason lies in the sky-high avalanche danger that these extraordinary conditions have generated, underscoring the awe-inspiring power of nature's fury.
A bay-breasted warbler seen at Ramsey Island.
More than a dozen species of small songbirds - one of which has never been seen in the UK before - were sent veering off their usual migration routes by the high winds.
It was "the largest such arrival ever recorded in the British Isles", said Dr Alexander Lees, a reader at Manchester Metropolitan University and the chair of the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee.
"One species hasn't been seen before, and several have only been recorded once or twice."

With Red-eyed Vireos being found in Cornwall, Scilly, Devon, and Barra, and an American Buff-bellied Pipit on St.Kilda, it would be pretty amazing if another gem isn't discovered soon.

When responders arrived, the woman was found in her backyard with injuries that were possibly caused by her dog, which was near her in the backyard.
Toledo Fire and Rescue units were able to move the dog away from the woman and render aid, police said.
The woman, who suffered "significant injuries," was pronounced dead at the scene in the 4200 block of Grantley Road.
Dozens displaced after massive sinkhole opens near apartment complex in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
The ground gave way over the weekend next to an apartment complex in Luzerne County.
The fire chief said 14 of the apartments have been condemned, causing roughly 20 people to be displaced.
The department of environmental protection says the hole is about 60 to 80 feet deep.
It is believed the sinkhole was likely caused by a mine subsidence which is a technique used in underground mining and can result in the ground above sinking or in this case, develop into a large sinkhole.
Tiffany McFadzean couldn't believe her eyes when she looked out into the backyard of her West Hempstead home Tuesday morning.
"We saw this big huge hole it caught us off guard," she said.
The sinkhole measures about six feet deep and 10 feet across, and appeared suddenly with zero warning.
"Police reached the spot and sent the bodies for postmortem," said Dharamgarh SDPO Dhiraj Chopdar.
