Observations of the ice-breaking and ice navigation behavior of migrating bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) near Point Barrow, Alaska, Spring 1985 / John Craighead George, Christopher W. Clark, Geoffrey M. Carroll, William T. Ellison.

Title: Observations of the ice-breaking and ice navigation behavior of migrating bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) near Point Barrow, Alaska, Spring 1985 / John Craighead George, Christopher W. Clark, Geoffrey M. Carroll, William T. Ellison.

Abstract: From acoustic and visual data, estimated that 665 whales passed observation perches during four-day period. Studies hummocks created by whales pushing upwards through ice so as to breathe. Suggested that calls used to assess ice thickness.
