i just read the most incredible article

about these amazing and elusive whales:

in search of the mysterious narwhal,

from smithsonian.com.

it takes place on greenland's west coast.
{thank you, stephanie, for the link}

be warned, vegan friends,

the scientists work with native hunters

to learn more about narwhals
and ultimately protect them.

blubber eating is involved.

here is a video clip about the piece

be sure to click here to see more photos.

i remember this song from the limeliter's album

that was in heavy rotation when i was small:

greenland is a dreadful place,

a land that's never green.

where there's ice and snow

and the whale fishes blow,

and the daylight's seldom seen,

brave boys,

the daylight's seldom seen.
