To find the Spiral with four centers,
560.606 measures, it's far.
But by the Mega, it's a million times less

The title of the riddle - UT QUEANT LAXIS - is the first line and Latin hymn in honor of John the Baptist.

The first stanza was used by Guido of Arezzo to name the Musical Notes on the Scale by using the first two letters. Do (UT)- RE- MI- FA - SO - LA -

Ut queant laxīs
resonāre fibrīs
Mīra gestōrum
famulī tuōrum,
Solve pollūtī
labiī reātum,
Sāncte Iōhannēs


Translated: So that your servants may, with loosened voices, resound the wonders of your deeds, clean the guilt from our stained lips, O Saint John.

Latin to French:
Peut être desserré
fibres d'écho
exploits merveilleux
Tes serviteurs
profane lâche;
lèvres tachetées;
ST-JEAN

Might the first two letters have meaning to the puzzle? (in French translation)

Walrus in French is 'La Morse', so the picture hints at using Morse code.
