Description:
"The cruise was conducted aboard the vessel m/v Sila chartered from Jens Kjeldsen in Aasiaat, Greenland. The cruise started in Upernavik the closest harbour to Melville Bay. Equipment for the field operation has been shipped in a 20 feet container in advance to Upernavik. After the field period the ship returned to Upernavik where the equipment was unloaded and shipped south to Nuuk. The study area encompassed the entire Melville Bay (76°N, 60°W) but was focused in the Balgoni and Fisher Islands where tagging occurred. The objective was to instrument narwhals (Monodon monoceros) with satellite-linked time-depth-temperature recorders collecting water column temperature profiles in the pack ice to >1,500 m depths"--Brief summary of expedition objectives and milestones.
