Drone video reveals rarely seen bowhead whales in the Arctic

Yahoo News U.K. featured rare drone footage of bowhead whales capture by UBC researchers.

“Much of what we know about their behaviour has come from boat-based or aerial observations from small planes,” said UBC researcher and zoology PhD candidate Sarah Fortune in a release. “Now, thanks to the availability of drone technology and the clear water in Cumberland Sound, we can observe their underwater behaviour like never before, providing new insights into their feeding and social activities.”
