Whale Whispers

摘要

When searching for whales in the frigid Beaufort Sea, Inupiat hunters listen for vibrations from the whales' songs through the oars of their tiny skiffs. When companies hunt for oil in those same Alaskan waters, they bring in noisy drill ships, icebreakers, and airplanes. This disrupts the whales'migration and feeding, argue the Inupiat, not to mention their own traditional subsistence lifestyle.
