Occurrence of narwhals (Monodon monoceros) and white whales (Delphiapterus leucas) in East Greenland
Narwhals (Monodon monoceros) have been observed along the east coast of Greenland from Umiiviip Kangertiva (64°10'N, 41 °W) to Kilen (81°N, 13°W). The fjord complexes of Sermilik, Kangerlussuaq and Scoresby Sund are important inshore summering areas. Narwhals occur in these fjords from ice brea...
