Beluga Whales in the Arctic

Greenpeace is conducting an expedition bringing scientists to take sea ice core samples, measure snow and ice thickness, and water column properties below the ice at the Arctic ice edge in Fram Strait, between Svalbard and Greenland. A group of US scientists is collecting data at the Arctic sea ice edge in May 2019 during the time of spring algae blooms to study the interactions between melting sea ice and the local ecosystem.
