Melting glaciers in Greenland open new habitats for several whale species. An international research team studied changes in sea temperatures and glacier conditions.
Humpback, fin, and minke whales now appear more frequently in eastern Greenland waters.
Warming seas and melting ice increase access and feeding opportunities for whales. Researchers say whale feeding habits indicate a major transformation in marine ecosystems.
East Greenland's fish species also expand their range, offering fresh food sources. Significant ecological changes present new opportunities and risks to various native species.
