Whaling trail mapping update 2018

By Liv | May 1, 2018
Two covers side-by-side with maps of whaling trails to ice edge in Utqiaġvik from spring 2018. Left map shows ice trails with their water depth and the right map shows the thickness of ice on the trails through a color gradient and the water depth.

AAOKH is working with Dr Matt Druckenmiller to map the ice thickness over whaling trails in Utqiagvik, Alaska. The latest map is available in a PDF:
