Mingling Technologies: Tracking Walruses with Telemetry and Inuit Harpoons
Above the Arctic Circle about 50 miles out of Wainwright, Alaska, a team of walrus researchers and Native guides patrolled the Arctic Ocean in a skiff, seeking a female walrus to dart and tag. After days seeking just the right animal and situation, they finally found a likely subject: a walrus sitti...
