The place that never freezes: the Arctic habitat where global heating threatens more ice, not less
By Words and pictures by Jimmy Thomson in Nunavut, Canada

The race to study the North Water between Canada and Greenland before it changes has led to a bold plan for an Inuit-run protected area

Could humans ever communicate with whales? - video
By Presented by Madeleine Finlay with Emma Bryce . Produced by Madeleine Finlay, Joshan Chana and Jacob Liebenberg . The executive producer was Ellie Bury

Ever since the earliest known recording of whale song was made in 1949, researchers have been captivated by the wails, rumbles, clicks, grunts and squeals of their communication. As technology improves, scientists are decoding the intricate patterns that make different species’ vocalisations distinctive. Madeleine Finlay hears from Emma Bryce, a journalist who has spent months investigating human efforts to understand whale song. She explains how this knowledge could help us better protect whales from human-made harms.

At Least 20 #KillerWhales Are Responsible For #Rudder Raids On #Sailboats. Twenty animals out of a family pod of less than 60 seem to be the culprits, with the adults training the calves to engage in the behavior. As it turns out, #Orcas might just want to have fun. The Conservation, Information and Research on #Cetaceans (#CIRCE), told the BBC that the orcas do not seem to be acting out of trauma or (the very human emotion) revenge, but engaging in play https://jalopnik.com/at-least-20-killer-whales-are-responsible-for-rudder-ra-1850704700
