Huge walrus haul out in Alaska result of retreating sea ice say scientists

October 1, 2014

Karen Wristen explains how retreating Arctic sea ice has forced thousands of Alaskan walrus onto land on Global News. “What’s happening is the sea ice has retreated into such high latitude waters where the ocean is really deep, that the walrus can’t live on the ice and forage any longer.”
