Sperm Whale Butchered in Greenland
Greenlanders butcher the carcass of a Sperm whale that they had found off the coast of the town of Nuuk on South West Greenland. On board the small whaling vessel, in the capitol's harbour they separate the red meat from the blubber and fat. They say that the whale was caught up in fishing lines and that it had to be shot, because it was already injured. Greenpeace and an independent NASA-funded scientist completed measurements of melt lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet that show its vulnerability to warming temperatures. The measurements are the last scheduled activity as the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise wraps up its two-month expedition to document the impacts of climate change on Greenland's ice sheet and glaciers.
