An Early Holocene Bowhead Whale (Balaena Mysticetus) in Nansen Sound, Canadian Arctic Archipelago
At about 10,000 B.P. northern Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere islands underwent a climatic amelioration that caused the demise of the last glaciation. Generally, by 8,000 B.P. accelerated retreat left extensive coastal areas ice free. The occurrence of an early Holocene (7475±220 B.P.) bowhead whale (Bal...
