Description:

"The cruise will be conducted aboard the vessel m/v Sila chartered from Jens Kjeldsen in Aassiaat, Greenland. The wooden boat sleeps 7 people and serves as a platform for coastal transportation and research in West Greenland. The study area encompasses the entire Melville Bay (76°N, 60°W). The cruise does not have a planned route or specific tracklines, instead optimal sites for setting nets to catch whales will be targeted, which include areas with minimal sea ice coverage and high densities of narwhals"--Cruise overview.
